How often do you see your siblings/nieces/nephews

[Anonymous]

My 3 siblings and their families live within an hour drive of me and even closer to each other. I see one sibling once a year and the other 2 maybe twice a year. The see each other about the same. We like each other, there is no animosity or family issues, we just were never super close and all of us are busy.

The SIL is completely religious and makes my head spin.
They never want to meet me out, I ALWAYS have to come to their place b/c of nap schedules etc, and this gets tiring after a while.

The kids are sweet, but I got married late and still love spending all of the weekend with my hubby.

It's called sacrifice in the name of family. You would probably enjoy the reciprocation if you have a family of your own one day.

On the other hand, you can just tell your brother what you've said here so he can stop guilt tripping you, I'd leave out the part about SIL though.

Why can't you and your hubby take the kids for a weekend anyway? give your brother a break?

Umm, this poster has a family--her husband. Man, the lazy mothers who want free babysitting are out in full force on this thread!
