[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why didn't DH or you invite Mary directly?

And isn't she old enough to handle her own travel arrangements?

Drop expecting any kind of interaction between DH's sister and your brothers. It would be nice if they clicked, but they don't, end of story.[/quote]

This. Your siblings and your dh's siblings aren't family to each other. They have no responsibility to her.[/quote]

Yes. "Mary" knows these people due to your marriage to her brother, but both Mary and your DH have unrealistic expectations of the degree to which your siblings should consider "Mary" part of their family.

DH needs to step up and take more ownership of the interactions with Mary. If he wanted her to come to this performance, he should have been communicating with Mary, working out transportation with Mary, etc. What this shows is that both Mary and your DH have the same kind of expectations when dealing with other people, i.e. it's other people that should just just "know" when I "need" things, and I'm entitled to my passive aggressive stance.[/quote]
