[quote=Anonymous]I've seen several comments/threads where MILs and SILs blame the son's/brother's wife for family relationship/communication issues, such as: -Lack of phone calls/contact -Infrequent visits -not being invited to kid milestone events like recitals and graduations -Perceptions--real or imagined--that the wife's family gets "more of everything" than the husband's family. My question is--isn't this anger/frustration/disappointment misplaced? Why are you not more upset with your son/brother? Why is it expected that the wife should do more for her husband's family, when she likely has her own family contacts to manage and plan? [/quote]
