[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. I don't get some of the PPs. The BIL should have stepped up and appeared once in a while to lend a hand, even if just to play with his niece/nephew for a while. He obviously has the time, if he's able to be there now.

OP, what does your husband say about it? Maybe at some point you're just going to have to get it off your chest and tell BIL, "you know, it was really disappointing when you never came to lend a hand while Larlo was deployed. It was very tough on the three of us, and some family support would have meant a lot." Then you'll have to figure out a way to drop it. Know that you can't count on BIL, and don't go out of your way to do stuff for him. Your husband appears to value the relationship, so look at it as something you do for him. [/quote]

[b]Maybe the BIL just really doesn't like OP.[/quote][/b]

:roll:

Oh, christ.  What on earth does THAT have to do with anything?  Adults show know better - and do as we tell our kids - "You don't have to LIKE (name here), but you do have to be nice."  Grow up and stop acting like a spoiled child, PP.

As for OP, BIL does not owe you anything.  But that has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not anyone likes anyone.
