When Family Makes No Effort to Connect With Your Child

My baby girl is just under five months old, and it hurts to see how little effort some family members make to be part of her life. My husband's parents are separated, and his brother still lives with his mom. We haven’t seen them since the holidays, and there’s a long history of tension with his mom. This weekend, she’s coming to visit, and my husband asked his brother if he’d come in too. He said he’d just drop her off and leave, even though he’s moving nearby and isn’t busy moving furniture. It’s disappointing that he can’t spare even a few minutes to meet his niece. My husband has tried inviting him over, but he only seems interested in hanging out for things like movies. It makes me sad for my daughter—she deserves to feel wanted by her family. Has anyone else felt this way? How do you handle it?
