[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 7 (yes 7) brothers. They do not respond unless you have a question. If you want them to call you back you must state, please give me a call. If you have expectations they need to be stated clearly.

It hurts my feeling if you don't call on my Birthday. (Not, hey you did not call me on MY birthday) Also expect it to be your birthweek not the exact day.

I will be upset if you don't call me at least 2 times a year. (Not... It would be nice to hear from you at least 2 times a year... to vague.)

Also, Your sister in law is not "part of the family" in her mind. (I am a daughter in law and I am part of my H family... so I get that some daughter in laws are.) Sorry, but I have found this with all my sister in laws. They are part of their family and our family is a mild annoyance and sometimes fun but "not really her family". (Of course there are 9 of us so I understand... it is a lot) BTW, 5 of my 7 SIL are awesome but still they are busy to say the least.

Also, by definition, you are the one being passive agressive. I am not trying to blame you but it is a process to lose that connection to a sibling and having expectation that are not clearly stated and then getting upset about what you imagine is the 'correct" response is going down the passive aggressive path.[/quote]

Helpful post for me to think about, thank you.[/quote]
