Kerstin,
I am so going to learn this week if I have insensitive family. I try not to
let t bother me but it get the best of me. My husband always tells me
that he will say something but he never does.
Not that I fault him for that because we don't see his family a lot, he
doesn't want to make waves. But the whole idea of Zack makes them so
uncomfortable.
I thought that my sister-in-law would come around since she is expecting
again but no, there is always a silence whenever he is mentioned.
In you heart you will always know that Oliver was the first boy in the
family. It is their loss, I have learned a lot and my children are so much
more precious to me. I can feel the wedge between my in laws, someday it is
greater than other days but I know when this little man arrives, watch out
my hormones will be raging and so will I.
I like the comment "just plain stupid" they are the world travelers but
they cannot relate on a emotional level, my MIL tells me that no one
talks about him because they are afraid of how I will react, needless to
say I am a time bomb and will probably go off at the wrong time. I have a
feeling it is all about to come to the surface :).
Amy
mom to Jordyn, Taylor, Michael, Zack(7/31/00)and yet to be named little boy
