[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were visiting a neighbor’s house and the cat ran under the couch and tried to scratch your kid every time he got down on the ground to try to pet it, wouldn’t you tell your kid to leave the cat alone and go find someone else to play with or something else to do?

My goodness. She’s not interested. Do you also go to an empty well with a bucket every day, expecting to get some water? Get a life.[/quote]

Actually, I’m one of the few people on my husband’s side of the family who DOES have a good relationship with my husband’s sister, and that is because I am accepting of her prickly/dramatic wife, in that I don’t go chasing after her and try to make her into something she’s not. I don’t try to force a closeness with her that she doesn’t feel. Because I don’t put pressure or expectations on SIL or on her wife, they naturally do gravitate to me. I don’t pressure them, so they almost use me as a social shield against the onslaught of “Where’s Nora?” And “Why won’t Nora go to church with us?” And “Why doesn’t Nora want dessert?”

And then DH’s family wonders why SIL and her wife talk to me and avoid others. It’s because I leave the cat alone, and sometimes she comes out on her own.[/quote]
