So know your pain. We are the ones here who make the effort to make sure everyone in the family knows the girls. None of the grandparents make an effort to see them, and DH's parents only live round the corner. MIL just had three days off in a row, not once did she call and want to do anything with the girls, but everyday she drove straight past our house! We did see her yesterday, why? Because we called and asked if she wanted to catch up for a coffee.
The girls only uncle refuses to have a relationship with them unless it on his terms, my mum is the same.

This year it is my goal to cut back on the pushing for them to see the girls. IMO their grandchildren and nieces should be important enough to make an effort for. And if they cannot be bothered making the effort then they all are going to miss out.

Im so sorry that your conversation didnt go the way you wanted. But I really do hope that everything sorts its self out for you.
