We are expecting our first in the next week or so. I really don't mind the fact that my inlaws are too self consumed to give two shits about our lives, but I can't help but feel bad for my hubby. He's in the CG and we are lucky to be close to home for the birth of our first. His dad calls him today to let him know he would not be coming down (1 hour drive) when the baby is born because it's too far and his SO is allergic to the flu shot (not sure why this is relevant). He did mention that he expects us to update Facebook so that he can keep up with baby updates that way. I also know MIL will not be coming down either (she has a 35 minute drive) unless SIL drives her because she is a sad excuse for a mother as well. They drive me crazy because they're insane, but it hurts me to see my husband having to deal with his family not giving a shit about him and their first grandchild. Does anyone else have these issues? DH has the IDGAF attitude but I know it hurts his feelings. I'm not close enough with them to say something and I guess all I can do is be supportive it's just a crappy situation. On top of it my parents are ecstatic and supportive and so I think sometimes he is jealous of their involvement.
