[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 children.   I grew up with a brother and sister.

The sister always has drama, always about her, I can't handle it.  Luckily she is far away and we don't visit so the problem is easy.  She will call and I can talk for 5 mins but really can[t take the complaining or preaching much longer.

My brother lives closer but picks on my kids.  Says mean snarkly things about not listening, not doing good in school, having problems,  He will scream at his kids.   After one sleep over, all the nieces and nephews said they were afraid and would never go back again.  He is always picking on my son, and both my daughter and son comment on this and neither will visit.  I did not even try to talk to him about it, I just stopped going over or responding to phone calls.

I wish we were closer.  I wish they were not so difficult and painful to be around.   I have gotten to the point in life where I just don't have the energy to deal with these emotions and pain.

My brother has 2 kids that are very nice, I wish I was part of their life but itis just weird when we get together and never comfortable.[/quote]
