Family issues!

So my family is literally crazy. My whole pregnancy I've pretty much focused on my own little family ( my son, boyfriend and I ) I've been trying to get everything together for him and get my house squared away so I haven't talked to my family much. I keep in touch with my immediate family but I don't really talk to the rest of them. So all everyone does is spread rumors about me and talk a whole bunch of crap. My sister in law included, who is pregnant herself. But the past two weeks I've been texting her, calling her to see how she's feeling and she doesn't answer, ever. My question is.. Why is it fair for her and the rest of my family to talk bad about me but she can ignore me and that's fine?


Sorry, just had to vent.

That's really where I'm at now.. I'm so tired of trying when all they do is make up stories. I'd rather just focus on my own family. Everything happens for a reason

No, it's not fair. But also not worth your time.  Rise above and don't stress over this.  They'll simmer down as time goes on and you don't react to it.  good luck

I am the opposite it seems since I got pregnant everyone left me out to dry. Friends don't call or check on me, family stay their distances and to be honest at this point I can use the break. I focus on my household and school.

With my last pregnancy on of my husband's cousins went around telling people I lied about being pregnant and that my husband was really pissed at me. All because she was mad that I 1) I kicked her brother out of our house and 2) because I wouldn't give one of her cousin's (not related to my husband) our oldest baby clothes when we didn't know what we were having yet. Apparently my husband and I only know how to make boys (all 3 are boys) so it was a good thing we didn't give away our son's old baby clothes. Funny thing is she's always saying she's pregnant, she's never been pregnant a day in her life, so no one was really believing her. Not even her own sister.
My own grandmother for some reason treats me like I'm not even worth the dirt under her shoes. I have learned to just stay away from both of them.
