The mother in law.

My hubby's mother has no involvment in our pregnancy she took no part in planning the baby shower and isn't even planning on going, she said shes going to help us with the baby by watching her while we work but i dont see that happening either. I just wish she was as excited has my mother. She was also disappointed when she found out we were having a girl. I dont know what to do with this woman. Im to the point where i dont even want to pretend to be friendly anymore.

I agree ignore her, give her the same treatment she is giving you if she doesn't want to be involved do not involve her. If she asks why she is being left out simply tell her that her behavior made it clear to you that she didn't want to involved. My mom is all in but my hubby's mom could care less. I invited her to the 3d ultrasound and she said yes but didn't go because she had to "work". Even though I gave her a 3 week notice. She hasnt offered to help or do anything for the baby shower either, but hubby told me his family is not very familyish so I dont take it personal. I think the less involved they are the better less fights about decision making and other stuff.

I know how you feel. The only grandparent alive is my mother in law. She has no disire to see my son (he's 3 now) she probably sees him 3 xs a year. Takes pictures of him so she can pretend  to her friends that she's Grannie of the year, then she's done with him.
When I told her I'm expecting  a boy this time she just laughed. I hung up on her.
It's not worth getting worked up over. Your mom will outshine her in every way as a grandma. Be greatfull your babe will have that :)  it's her loss. You can't force someone to be a part of something they don't want too.

Just ignore her. It doesn't matter what she thinks as long as u n ur husband are happy. My mother in law is in Vermont n we live in texas. She want me to text her n send her pics of the progress n honestly don't have time for that. It's so annoying. . Now she wants to come down after the baby is born which I understood but I made it clear I don't want them there for the delivery. She agreed so I'm happy abt that. So to me it's better if they were just not involved
