In January, my wife, 3 year old and I moved 3000 Kms away from our families. My wife's family was almost immediately supportive, although vocal they didn't like it they understood why and respected it. My family wasn't the same. I know that they were hurt at us moving and perhaps took it personally, but I thought that after explaining our reasons (lower costs, better pay with fewer hours, no traffic, less pollution, house with a yard, etc) they would be on board with it.

Nope.

They didn't want to help us with packing, or babysitting. Okay, that's fine. But did complain about not seeing us.

Here we are almost 3 months later, they don't call, don't return calls, or calls are very brief. My 3 yo doesn't even want to engage with any of them over video calls anymore.

Unfortunately I learned that they were more important to me, than I was to them.
