    Just because your brothers girlfriend says ; she doenst want him there' doesn't mean to say he has to stay away.


    Tell him to stick up for himself, tell her he is visiting you and baby, and she is welcome to come too.
    Her loss, nasty piece of work if she can do this to an innocent child specially since she doted on baby to start with....
    Can your brother not see her for what she is, a control freak, and he is thinking about marrying her..... WOW

    And she's not even family yet ?
    Perhaps someone should tell her it is family business and not up for debate.
    Sounds like you are all scared of her - but hey maybe it'll open your brother's eyes to what she is really like.
    Anyone who rejects a baby they've been close to for something so trivial certainly isn't going to make a good mother if he's hoping to have a family.

    Why do you want to patch things up ? She's got you all dancing to her tune it seems !

    She wants a lengthy discussion? I would have it, I'm intrigued to know what her issue is. I guess you can't move on until you know what the problem is

    I'm willing to try and patch things up mostly for my dads sake. At the moment he's stuck in the middle. Plus as he's said a few times, his brother and sister didn't speak for many years because of one of their partners and saw how much it hurt his mum.

    A discussion would no doubt be about my relationship, which only came to an end a few months ago so things are still very raw to talk about.

    She wants to arrange a lengthy discussion with her boyfriend's sister to question her in depth about her most recent relationship which resulted in the birth of a child but ended badly and that she is still getting over?

    Does she have any idea how mad that is? What on earth does she think she needs to know and how would that discussion even unfold?

    Your daughter is only a few months old. She won't remember that her uncle didn't see her for a few months when she was very young, or that he didn't attend her first birthday party. Unless he/they are capable of sulking for five years with no apparent reason, I would expect your brother to slowly start having contact with you and your daughter again over time, and this will all become a distant memory. Just be patient and allow them to have their fit of pique for whatever reason.

    What planet is the girl on that she believes that the conception of your daughter is any of her business?

    She really needs to get over herself.

    I think your dad needs to be clear to her (and your brother) that she's being completely out of order and needs to wind her neck in.
