If his family cared enough they would come and make the best of it. My family always makes them feel especially welcome. But the rest is up to them. I don't feel bad for feeling that way.

His whole family lives in the same county we do, and yet they never call or see the kids. They remind me of holiday Catholic or Holiday Christians. Those people who never go to church accept on Easter or Christmas Eve. We enjoy being around all of those relatives and friends that are part of our everyday life when it comes to the holidays. Those we are closest to not those who only come around once a year and even then the kids are lucky if a get a card with $10 in it. Don't get me wrong, it's not the money that even bothers me. My parents give to my family on a daily/weekly basis in all little things like dinner at their house when they know we are low on groceries or just because that's what we do every Sunday for dinner. They know what is going on the kids day to day lives because they care enough to be involved. They come tho their sporting events and school events like plays. My in laws have been to one baseball game in three years and that's it. My father in law never even sends birthday cards to our children or my husband for that matter. They use excuses like my husbands grandparents are getting old, but it's just an excuse. My grandmother had her legs amputated and still asked to get out of the nursing home for one last New Year's Day to spend with our family. Because lets face it, if you don't think you have many years left, wouldn't you want to share it with those yo love and savor every last moment? Well I guess not everyone thinks like that. I have reached out to his family time and time again, and now he finally is at the point if they come they come, if they don't they don't. We will raise our children to enjoy life and share the small and big events in life with those they hold dear to their hearts.

Whereas your is sixteen? I would probably find it a bit overwhelming too if my family was really small, trying to go somewhere to celebrate a family get together, where it was a 2 to one ratio. Try to put yourselves in their shoes. I am sure it would be hard for them to feel included in anything with those numbers.

Most of the time I found a discreet place, but that isn't always possible. Sometimes I got iritated by the fact that I had to "hide" and make everyone else comfortable but me. All in all, most people I encountered were very supportive. I guess all you can do as a mother is do all you can to make your baby happy and educate others when there is an opportunity. I find it is often a generational thing, I'm in my 30's and found my mom's generation a lot less informed than people my age, but my grandmother's generation generally acceptingKeep up your good work.
