[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did they change? For the better or worse?

I am trying to cope with my own sibling changing for the worse (at least for me) after coming into a lot of money. We hardly talk anymore, he assumes everyone is looking for a handout or favor, he's now somewhat of a know it all when it comes to politics etc. and can be downright rude. They bought a huge house and now demand all the holidays are held at their house instead of our mom's - personally I enjoy spending time at the home I grew up in on the holidays! They now have cleaners and nannies for their kids. Their lives are just totally different than even last year this time. I'm happy for them that they're now living a very comfortable lifestyle but I miss how close we used to be and how much time we used to spend together. They used to invite us over to hang out virtually every weekend whereas now we haven't been invited in ages - last weekend we got a last minute invite and I was excited for the family time but arrived to find they had friends over and we were kind of an afterthought. Before I had a kid of my own I spent a ton of time with their kids and that has not been reciprocated whatsoever. I know they're busy but it still sucks. Just a vent a guess because I don't have anyone else to say it to. Its selfish of me to say but I just wish things could go back how they were. [/quote]

1) It is relatively recent, so there is a chance they make wake up and realize and go back to being nice.
2) Money really has no bearing on the discrepancy between the time you spent with their children and the lack of time they are spending with yours.  Almost everyone experiences this. 
3) They may get tired of always being the host. 
4) SInce you are not spending as much time with them you can visit your mom more often.
