Your mil is just making excuses for her "own" behavior by not having anything to do with her grandchild. You cant force her to see her but I would leave the door open for when she gets ready. I know exactly how you feel. My mil has had nothing to do with her grandchildren that we have and it has been nearly 2 years since she even had a visit with them and we live walking distance away. No b-days, no phone calls no nothing. She has everything to do with my husbands first child by a ex girlfriend and her excuse to us is "well, your kids have their parents together and he dont". "I feel sorry for him" AND " we go directly by a schedule and we dont have time to come see them". BUT they see the other child every other weekend and he is in another county. Dont allow any excuses from her, she is being selfish in her own way and it is her loss not yours or your childs. With the way my mil acts towards our kids, we prefer her to stay out of the picture mainly because she cant treat them fair and she shows no feelings towards our kids. It is a shame they have to act like that and be that way towards a child.
