Asked by Bostonmama08
I am having a hard time with my husbands mother....she has been emotionally distant my entire pregnancy. Never asking how things are going, very standoffish. When my husband called his mother out on it, she always says she "doesnt want to bother us and doesnt want to be hopeful if something goes wrong". I find that hurtful, because she is completely wrapped up in my SIL's 4 year old daughter....that little girl rules the world for my MIL.
My concern lies in that I just spent 3 days in the hospital, informed my MIL and havent heard a word from her since Friday to ask us whats going on. I am really hurt by it. She has no idea if I had the baby or if anything is wrong.
Say something

Q: Would you say something? Or just let it go?
I have had a high risk pregnancy since it began...and have been in and out of Labor and Delivery roughly 5 times since I have been 20 weeks. My husband and I tried for 7 years to have our second child and our family knows how much this baby means to us. Well, my family anyways....I am having a hard time with my husbands mother....she has been emotionally distant my entire pregnancy. Never asking how things are going, very standoffish. When my husband called his mother out on it, she always says she "doesnt want to bother us and doesnt want to be hopeful if something goes wrong".
