[quote=Anonymous]OP, your SIL is the outsider who had married into your family. You have a duty to make her feel welcome in your family. Your brother (her husband) could be clueless about how she is feeling because he is a guy, and that could be making her feel more alone when she is with you all. The onus to make her feel welcome falls on your family. And please don't use the excuse of "being straightforward" for being rude or unwelcoming. You have to accept her and moderate your behavior. Good manners, courtesy, politeness and thoughfulness goes a long way in making a new person feel at ease. Else, you risk alienating your brother, especially when the kids will come. Your choice, OP![/quote]
