Being ignored by FDH family

Again, ignored.

FSD8 and FSS10 rode on FDH's SIL's float in the parade. I dropped off the two kids to ride on the parade, and FDH's brother and his wife completely ignored me. Then as FDH, FSD12, and I are watching the parade. FMIL and FSILs(2) come walking up, then stop short when they see I am with FDH and FSD12. All three ignored me the entire hour long parade....

They ALL used to talk to me, have regular conversations with me,.... but not anymore, not since a little less than a year ago when I moved in with FDH,...
Officially, we have not yet announced that we are getting married. But lots of people around here live with each other before they get married, so I don't think that's it...

His two sisters have voiced that they don't like the way I talk to the kids. FDH has stood up for me saying I have done nothing but help the kids,... and actually him telling them to shut up about it might have even made it worse,...

Argh, I don't know what to do. And I don't want to come into a family where I am ignored and treated like this,...

Does anyone else deal with this??

I deal with that crap all the time. If yours FIL's are anything like mine, the BM will very soon be MOTY and you will become the enemy. Then when you have a child, oh dear, I hope your situation is different.

Call them out. Be direct with your question and very polite. Worst case senario, you'll at least know why they ignored you.
