@Katrina does she not visit at all in the week ?
My sister in law lives UPSTAIRS. She came down here last june...like in 2024. Before that we hadn't seen her since April and then before that was christmas of 2023 and before that also in April 2023 🤣. She texts me weekly about how she "REALLY" wants to make it a thing to hang out with us and see her niece. I've invited her over. I've invited her on outtings. I've invited her on our walks (since I've bumped into her on our walks). I finally told her that she seems busy everytime i invite her so I won't overwhelm her with invites that I'm home and if she wants to hang out with her niece even for like 20mins to just let me know, as long as it is before 7:30p....that was in September of 2024. 🤣🤷🏾♀️ *yes, I'm bothered by it.
Are you close with her? I only ever see my sil when my husband is with me and when they have arranged it which is very rarely. She's maybe seen my son 2 or 3 times and he's 3 months.
@C that would annoy me aswell I thought it was bad her driving past but living upstairs that rakes the mickey. If it was me I would be downstairs as much as possible to see my niece
@Mar we aren't but my partner and her used to be close and it's upsetting him
No. People have their own lives, plans and places to be. Just because they're driving past it doesn't mean it's convenient to drop in either for them or for you. If you want to see them, invite them!
No. My brother and sil used to live 5 minutes away from us. They wouldn’t drop in uninvited and vise versa. She may also not be that natural around little kids. Invite her over and go from there.
I would personally find it rude if someone (even family) just knocked randomly at my door. She is probably waiting for an invite?
@Karen she goes to all the other niece and nephew houses so doesn't have a problem dropping in or with children
@Amy we said to everyone before baby was born just text us to make sure we are in your welcome anytime
@Caroline I understand that It's just If it's me I would be visiting atleast once a week
No she doesn’t - both me and my husband work full time and she works shifts. I’d find it very inconvenient if she dropped in during the week in the evening when we’re home to be honest 😂
I wouldn’t. Just cause someone happens to drive past us doesn’t mean they have time time to make the stop. Doesn’t mean she doesn’t love and care for them. Just have a life and obligations of their own to live
When i lived around the corner from my oldest sister i had my nephew a few times a week. He would either hang at mine or I'd scoop him for a bike ride or to go get a snack with me! When my little sister and I lived in the same building I often asked if I could pick up my niece. Now when I visit the east coast I prioritize seeing my niece and nephews because those are my babies. So I don't get how she doesn't come downstairs. But it drives me crazy when she texts me every week about her intention to see her niece more like girl..stfu little liar 🤣

Annoyed no. But I’ll take note of it. I accidentally learned my brother went to the bar at the bottom of my apartment at least once a week to watch the game. He’s only seen my sons twice
I'd be ✨GRATEFUL✨
@Emma can u explain please
What i’ve learnt is that when a person has no love for their sibling/s then they have no love for their children, it shows with simple things like coming to see a niece or nephew/ grandchildren and create a bond or a relationship with the child, its really as simple as if they wanted to they would! while babies are young its the responsibility of other adults to show an interest in that child and make an effort to spend time with them, not the parents responsibility to impose a relationship with extended family.
Nope
When you said your brother and her used to be close, what happened to them? And how often do they communicate? And how is your relationship with her? Cause she might find it awkward just coming by if the relationship with her brother isn’t great. Maybe ask your husband to invite her over
No it would actually annoy me if she did 😂
@Nimco the relationship before I gave birth was great and I have always got on with her and when she has been round always been very friendly
My sister in law works across the road from our house, should I expect her to come in and visit her nieces every day? No I can’t say I’d be bothered by this to be honest
