[quote=Anonymous]We spend zero time with siblings' in-laws. Your mother is being ridiculous, especially since they're out-of-state. That said, I'm wondering if this has to do with fears that there won't be big family holidays with her kids anymore. If you brother always spent holidays with your mom before this, and you joined them for at least some of the holidays, she may be feeling anxious about a future where you and your brother are always missing each other at holidays because one is with the in-laws when the other is with her, and she sees you going to his in-laws (along with her) as the solution. Especially if he's marrying someone who's very close with her parents, and your mother is afraid of being shut out in favor of them.[/quote]
