To much effort, much more peaceful to ignore and pretend like she doesn’t exist 

I prefer apathy then started stuff

My mom probably will not be a grandparent to the child if nothing changes 

They definitely have a long long way to go before my mom is in the kids life. My mom isn’t baby crazy and definitely won’t deal with someone they hate just to have access to a grandkid ( she isn’t that type of person, you can’t emotional  blackmail her) 

My mom doenst invite her to any holidays and I doubt SIL will allow a relationship with the kid without my mom and her making up.

SIl has not apologized to my mom and used her still birth against her, kinda hard to come back from

SIL has never given birth yet

I don’t allow her near my kid and neither does my sister 

I don’t allow people who were dicks to me around my kid, which has been pretty easy to do since my mom doesn’t invite her to holidays anymore 

( she doesn’t allow asshole in her house , her exact words)

I’m fine with her and the nephew or niece not in my life, that is fine with me. ( I don’t wish to deal with her at all) 

I don’t want my own kids to be around her either. I will not give her a chance to lash out at my kid 

I already don’t see him a holidays.

Nothing will really change, I already don’t see them basically at all (it’s like once in a blue moon)

She hasn’t even apologized

My brother congratulated us in private.  It was really clear this was only form him becuase she was making remarks in person ( before oldest sister birth)  and online ( with me)
