[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I moved back because of family; I guess I created a fantasy in my head that the three little cousins would become close. My son has a younger sister. My nephew and niece don't have siblings. This is it; this is the only peer group they have at this age. No other cousins from my spouse's side.  It still hurts that I prioritized my cousin B and his daughter, and [b]I get no reciprocity[/b]. Cousin B hangs out with cousin A and his sister. I don't know if this matters, but my sister is invited by cousin B's wife to their house. My sister thinks the wife is weird and felt it was wrong that they didn't come to my son's Birthday party. She won't meddle, which is fine. My dad, on the other hand, is very hurt (he was close to cousin B) and wants me to cut them off. [b]He won't go to my niece's party[/b]. [/quote]

Oh FFS. You're not entitled to reciprocity! This kind of behavior would definitely lead me to distance myself from you and your dad.  Your dad is a grown man and needs to put the child first and not be such a fusser!

I suspect your relatives are keeping you at arms' length because if they give you an inch you'll try to take a mile.[/quote]
