[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if you are very judgmental.[/quote]

[b]I am not judgmental[/b]. But I am about inclusivity, esp. when it comes to family. I can understand when you don't want to be around a member of the family or two, but EVERYONE? She doesn't come to any of our family events, she doesn't host her own. I get it, she's an introvert, but even introverts talk to people once in a while. [b]When she calls our parents, they treat it like a miracle.[/b] She does it so randomly. We didn't even find out about her elopement until months later. When she had a child, she called our parents a month later. Again, we all live in the area. You don't need any help? That's fine. But at least make an effort to communicate with us.[/quote]

But you are judgmental. Saying she has always been an "odd duck" is by definition judgmental. Who's to say that how she behaved was/is odd? It could very well be just different from how you and the rest of your family behave.

As to your parents treating her calls like a miracle, that sounds as if really the heart of this is jealousy and irritation that your parents feel grateful for anything they get from her. But you've wrapped it all up in you want to be inclusive. I think you need to examine your own motives, OP, and be honest with yourself.[/quote]
