FI's mom has 4 sisters. She is always in some sort of argument with at least one. She fought with her sister over 6 years ago and still has not spoken to her.
I understand that these things happen between siblings. What I don't understand is how FI's cousins react to it and how the aunts treat the other children. We have not heard from his aunt and her children since the whole argument went down. FI has no interest in reaching out to them.
Well, now his mom is not speaking with another one of her sisters. I invited her to S's birthday party to which she declined. I figured that would happen. But then his cousins also declined I don't understand it. We have never said anything bad to them and this argument has absolutely nothing to do with us.
Anyway, one of the cousins, L, is pregnant. We found out a few months ago. We have tried to reach out to her several times but we either get ignored or get very short responses like "Fine." "Thanks." "Ok." Her baby shower is next month and we were not invited
It makes me feel bad since I love family but unfortunately don't have any that live near me. His family is all I have in this area and they let these ridiculous, petty arguments come between them I even asked his mom if she knew anything of L and her response was "don't know, don't care." The argument has nothing to do with L!!! How can they treat their neices/nephews this way? And why are the cousins getting involved?! Ugh.
The worst part is that S doesn't really have any younger babies around and I was really looking forward to having the children grow up together.
Would you keep trying to reach out or would you just give up at this point?
