[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have had poor relationships with one of his siblings. Once we all had kids, past issues were pushed aside and things seemed to be getting better. All of our kids got along and we tried to get together at least once a month. Fast forward to now. We were at a family birthday and my FIL mentioned that one of my daughters won an ice skating competition. She isn't a formal competitor - she is instructional classes and they had an informal competition which my daughter happened to win. I noticed my SIL's face changed and she was distant the rest of the day. She later cancelled plans we had for the following weekend and when I called to talk to her, she went off on me on what a horrible SIL I am and that I never do anything for her. I asked for examples - she gave a few -my response was that I didn't know she needed help (true) and she should have asked. She said that I should have known and reached out. The whole conversation was weird and I am not even positive how this break down started - I just noticed her face after FIL made the ice skating comment.. So now my husband is upset because he was happy that things were going well with everyone and now the kids wont have a relationship with each other (they are between 5-11). I am ok with still doing thing together, but I don't think SIL is. My husband tried calling her and she didn't want to talk to him. What do we do?[/quote]
