[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm the dissenting voice here and I speak as someone with ILs just like this. DH thinks we need to go out of our way to visit them and when we do, they act like they really couldn't care less if we're there or not. I admit that it really bugs me, but over our years of marriage (12) I've realized that... it's just who and how they are. My family is much more effusive ("We're SO glad you're here!!!") and his is just more laid back. Like it or not, this is your DH's brother. He needs to have a relationship with him. Sounds like he doesn't see him often if he lives so far away and yes, it's worth making an effort on his part. You need to go along, like it or not. You're not going to be entertained. You're going to support your DH. Suck it up, be thankful you don't have to deal with these people on a regular basis, and encourage your DH to find something positive in staying in touch with his brother.[/quote]
