Mother-In-Law Hurt by Not Being at Birth Dec 4th 2012, 14:00 I've written a lot about mother-in-laws and others not being invited to birth. There is also a spot for others to share their stories over the years, so have been very supportive of mother-in-laws, while others haven't. (I might add that some were also anti-grandma in general.)  Then I got a response from a mother-in-law: "I've had a very hard day today. My DIL had a planned C-sec. Her and my son said we want you and her mom there only in the waiting room. I said great happy to be there for their first. A half hour before I was to arrive at hosp. son called and said there were delays, her mom said to me I will call you after the birth. Yes I'm hurt and my son doesn't understand why. Her mom of course was there. We all get along great, should I feel left out and hurt? They sent me a pic over my phone." What advice do you have for her? Can you see yourself in this situation?
