[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you in 90% of cases but sometimes it is the DIL/SIL who is actively trying to reduce contact or family vacation time. Like the son/brother will be on the phone and she’ll pull him away for something trivial (which is okay if it’s occasional, but not if it’s constant). Or the son/brother wants to visit, but she’s “in charge” of the social and vacation calendar and there’s no room to see the ILs. Again this is not common but it is true for some families.[/quote]

Not OP. But even in cases like that isn't that still illustrating OP's point? The son/brother is not a child and can speak up with his wife. At the end of the day he is responsible for his own actions therefore if it continues happening he is allowing it to happen and isn't saying anything about it so that still illustrates the OP's original point that the blame should fall on the son/brother and not the DIL/SIL. The wife isn't responsible for maintaining closeness to her husband's side of the family or vacation time with them the husband is and if he isn't speaking up and saying hey I want to see my family too then ultimately he is choosing not to.

Also I'm not sure what trivial things you are referring to but usually when wives pull their husbands away from the phone it isn't for no reason it's usually because he is most likely not spending the adequate time with her or he is too busy yapping with his mom/sister instead of stepping up and helping with child rearing responsibilities.
