dear mother in law.

hi. we called you a week ago to tell you the sex of our baby. we then went on vacation and called you again last night. thank you for finally calling us this morning. we are glad you two are still alive.

i know that technically i am not a part of your family, but could you at least pretend that you care when we tell you information pertinent to your grandchildren? maybe a congratulations or we are excited for you or ?!?! something that is positive? like today, when i told you the sex of our baby and you didn't even say - cool, that's neat, wow, congrats, are you excited or anything of that sort. you actually just glanced over it and then talked down to me b/c my 19 mo old was transitioned into a bed and wasn't this summer (3 mos ago) when we visited you. thank you for your limited support. oh, and one last thing.....these comments make me less inclined to spend 1k to visit you for 3 days for xmas.
