I've just been filling in the first few pages of my baby book when I got to the part about the family tree. I filled mine in no problem, but when it came to filling in OHs side of the family, it felt like I was going to be putting in a load of strangers names. I've left it empty.

My OH doesn't have a big family and neither do I, but they don't bother with my OH at all. They never call and never visit. They've taken zero interest in this pregnancy and to be honest I'm quite disappointed with it all.

They've only ever visited us once while we've been living in this flat - my mum has visited more times and she lives 700 miles away! They live 10 minutes down the road!

My OH has never really had a strong relationship with hsi family - his mum died when he was 11 and since then they haven't really been involved. I've only met them a few times - I can count how many times on one hand.

I guess I'm just disappointed because I don't have my family around and won't have anybody when my baby is here. I thought they would have shown a bit more interest since announcing the pregnancy but if anything they've lost even more interest.

What makes it worse is that I can't talk to them about it (language barrier).

Just needed a rant really

Hun i know how you feel. i dont really see my family or hear from them. oh family are the same they have always treated me like crap and never in any of my pregnancies have they cared enough to call n ask how baby/pregnancy is. yet when baby is born they will demand to see him even though they dont see their other granddaughters.
