[quote=Anonymous]OP, I can empathize. My MIL and SFIL are like this. They are very close with BIL and SIL and their kids but don’t take an interest in our family because we don’t offer financial assistance or ask for financial assistance. They like to be financially enmeshed with relatives to an extreme degree and since we don’t participate in that, they aren’t interested in us. We just accept it. It’s their loss. One of our kids is going to college this year and the other is in high school. We did have to explain to them at one point that we have declined a few large financial asks from them that were out of proportion to our resources and that is probably why they cut all of us off, but otherwise, it’s fine.[/quote]
