Mom refuses to invite her in-laws to her triplet son's 2nd birthday party after they refuse to build a relationship with them while getting close to her sister-in-laws baby son

You really figure out who your friends are when you have kids. The same goes for single people when everyone but them starts having kids, but it's difficult to overstate how upsetting it can be for all of your friends to lose interest in you just because you have a baby. You would think that the people who have spent years and years supporting you in all of your endeavors would want to know your mini-me, but you'd be surprised how many people do not.

When friendships change upon becoming a parent, you expect your family members to be sources of support who deeply care about building relationships with their nieces, nephews, or grandchildren. However, that doesn't always happen. It's one thing for family members who live 2000 miles away to feel a little disconnected from their extended family, but when they live in the same town, it leaves a sour taste in the parent's mouths.

The mother in this story struggles with her in-laws, who aren't doing enough. They refuse to babysit or spend time with her triplets but have photo albums full of memories with their daughter's baby, who was born around the same time as the three boys. With their 2nd birthday coming up, she has a big decision to make.
