[quote=Anonymous]I cared a lot about my DH’s brother’s kids. We visited as many holidays as we could, I’d entertain the kids the entire time. and I remember I spent my niece’s entire fourth birthday party with her and loved every minute of it.

But when we had our own kids it wasn’t reciprocated at all. BIL has visited exactly once, SIL never has. They say it’s too difficult to travel with kids, but we have kids now, too (and still managed to travel to see them). BIL was supposed to visit earlier this year, but it sounded like he was expecting it to be a “guys trip” and didn’t want to do much kid-friendly stuff (the trip fell through because of covid). They didn’t even attend our DD’s virtual birthday party in April.

So I don’t care about their kids much anymore. I haven’t even seen them in 2 years, and the last time - during a beach vacation - they basically ignored their kids and I had to watch them to make sure they didn’t drown. I don’t think DH even sent them birthday presents this year since they missed our kid’s party. [/quote]
