Basically, you need to stop caring what she does and doesn't do. It really is not HER JOB to care about your child. It is YOUR JOB. I know that it isn't run-of-the-mill that a grandparent have no regard for her grandchildren in our society, but life is full of unexpected experiences. She raised her child, so now you raise yours. Simple.

Make sure that you include her, invitation-wise at least in everything you can. Make sure you send pictures to her. I don't know if you are the husband or the wife but you do not want to be the bad person in this. there has to be some underlying reason to not want to be a visible part of a grandchild's life. Talk with your spouse and find out exactly what is going on. The grandchild is the one that suffers in the long-run. Don't kiss the butt of the mother-in-law, but do all you can to mend this rift for the sake of your child who is an innocent in all of this. Good luck

Don't worry about it - in the long run, the grandmother is the one losing out. Its best that you stay away from her as much as possible - the child should not be raised in such an 'unwanted' atmosphere - children are more aware of relationships than we realise...

That's sad.
That poor kid needs (or would love) a grandma who loves them. I would talk to her, unless she is totally insufferable, and maybe she'll realize that she needs to get over herself. Better yet, if she is being wretched, then start volunteering for meals on wheels and take the kid with you, old people will spoil the crap out of the kid and make them feel REALLY loved!

NO. I wouldn't want to. Your child first and your mother in-law can take her feelings and stick them where the sun doesn't shine.
It is not up to you to fix this. It is up to you to protect your child from someone that doesn't like them.

Dont talk to her. If she doesnt like your grandchild then you have no point in contacting her.

Who cares... she is the one missing out. Limit the time you see her. If she is any sort of a descent human being, she will realize what she is missing out on and eventually come around. Hopefully.

Yes, ignore her.
1.It's her loss.
2.You can't force her to do anything.
3.You'll just hurt yourself and your kid and your hubby.
4.Concentrate on the grandparent(s)/family that does care.
5.Don't worry about what you can't have.
6.Be good to your own first.
Remember, if you hate/dislike someone:
She either knows and doesn't care.
Or she doesn't know and doesn't care.
Move on.

Either she accepts my child or she isn't a part of my life. When it comes to my kids, I don't even deal with **** like that.
