Am 26 weeks pg with DC2. DD had her birthday party at the weekend. Have to say that even though MIL and FIL have helped us a bit financially (when we both got made redundant) they've not really been into DD1 in the way my grandparents (both sets) were with me and my DS, and our cousins. For example when DD1 was very young we used to have to take everything there - even the cot, baby bath wash and sterlising lotions. MIL would not really have prepared any food for DD1 and would act all surprised when I asked what she should have for dinner. Now DC2 is on the way I'm getting a bit more confrontational. MIL and FIL arrrived late at the party - we've not seen them for two months - and then MIL ended up spending most of the party talking to one of the mums (who is not even a good friend of ours) and ignoring DD1.
They insist on taking loads of photos and wanting thank you cards. But my mum is so fantastic, as are my friends and DH that maybe I'm being unfair. But to not even have bought baby bath kind of makes me a bit mad. My BFF says to let it go, but I feel I need to say something. And I have in an email!!! I just asked why they arrived late and asked if there were any problems/issues I should know about (see - I've made an issue of something by saying that). Was otherwise quite nice saying how good it was to see them.
Oh dear, pregnancy hormones have turned me quite bolshy!
