Feel awful for my DH

My DH parents have never taken a large interest in the past when it comes to our children and I really don't know why.  The only thing I can think of is that they think we don't need them.  We are fairly traditional.  We graduated from college, got married, have great jobs and then started a family.  His siblings are all struggling financially as well in relationships.  Maybe this is me makng an excuse to make us feel better.  They only live 2.5 hours away, are young and don't work from Jan-Mar.  They have only been to visit us 3 times in 15 years.  2 were for the birth of our 2 children.  1 other time out of needing a place to stay.  I just spoke with my SIL, who lives less than a mile from them, to see if they will be coming for the birth of our 3rd LO next week.  She said she'll have to see, FIL has a doctors appt. for a UTI.  My DH has stalled on calling them to firm up plans and now I know why.  This is heartbreaking for me but I know it will be more so for my DH.  We both have parents with issues and really don't have a support system.  These are the times it's so hard.  What can I say to him to make him feel better?  Why do I always think they are going to change?  Thanks for letting me vent......Sad

    All you can do is just be there for him.. My DH has issues with his family being there for him too, as in they never are... His Mom was suppose to be here for our 1st baby but she is now seeming to back out. I plan on calling her to really nudge her down here because I know how important it is to DH. In the end though, we cant change them. Your DH having your unconditional love and support is probably the best you can do. Sorry you guys are going through this, I know how much it sucks!
