I have the type of inlaws that never have anything to do with my daughter accept holidays. They will make a point to come to her birthday parties and bring all the gifts they can to make everyone think they are the greatest. Then after that we don't see them again til another holiday. (We live 2 minutes away from these ppl). It just makes them look stupid to everyone else at the party. If I were you I would just not invite them to the next party. If they ask why I'd tell them it hurts your daughter that they don't even give her a birthday card, or that you don't want them coming if they aren't going to participate in ALL of the birthday celebrations. I wouldn't worry about them at all. Unless they are just too poor to buy anything they must be complete IDIOTS!

That is so rude!!Even a card would have been a nice way to say happy birthday.Sometimes people are mean spirited and do things to prove a point, especially at social gatherings.. U r not over reacting.Its a hard thing to accept.Just remember though, that there r actually people out there who DO care about you and your little girl, nd their lack of respect will one day come back to bite them.

Lucky u atleast they bothered to show up for ur daughter's b'day i have 3 gals aged 3 and a half and 1 and a half for any of my daughter's birthday they never cared to show their faces or inthe case call them to wish they dont consider the babies as their grand child as i have gals and not guys like the rest the truth is my gals are the only female in their family for the 4th generation

these foolish ILS care only of them and not if the kids and my daughters call them as "ANDREWS GRANDMA" and not as their grand parents they deserve it i think so

i'm sorry i'm mad on them and wanted to vent

A Card would have at least been a way to recognize the childs birthday.

I dont think you're overreacting at ALL!!! Omg, that is absurd!!! A child, a CHILD!! That's what birthdays are about then, and you would think that they would want to give something to their grandchild so they would think of them when she plays with it! Gees, what jerks! Ugh, I would have had to say something... idk :( I'm sorry girl, I hate that!
