[quote=Anonymous]I have one brother who usually acts like he can't be bothered to call my mom or return my phone calls.  When he does go back to the Midwest for the holidays, he usually doesn't let us know his travel plans until a couple weeks before, by which time we've made committments to my in-laws.  I let him know when we'll be in our hometown well in advance.  He doesn't have any kids, and makes time to do what he wants (go to Hawaii, ride his motorcycle, etc.), so his excuse of being too busy to call is a little flimsy.  I've tried to just accept that he has different priorities, but I'd like for our DS to have close relationships with our family members.  I've stopped trying to call my brother and just text him once in a great while, and am not going to switch around our holiday plans at the last minute.  I feel a little guilty about this, though.

DW has a brother who has cut off almost all contact with her and her parents for a few years for reasons that are unclear.  There's really not much they can do.[/quote]
