OP - We have two daughters in the DC area one in MD and one in NOVA, and the older one wants "to have" a relationship that just does not exist with her younger sister.  Both are very nice girls, married with two young children each and husbands.  BUT they are also very different in personalities, in lifestyle with husbands and the older one ends up very frustrated.  She has a "perfect sister relationship" in mind that she just can't seem to let go of, and ends up ticking her sister off by trying to force schedule gettogethers or just say I'm coming over.....  Fortunately, we live a couple of hours away, and generally I stay out of it.  And in part it is due to things that transpired with the oldest one as she was growing up from the time she went away to college that had the negative impact of an over-focus on her.

So, all I can say is learn to enjoy the husband and children you have and focus more on the relationship with your Mom.  Why not suggest paying for her to come visit you all a second time each year to build a relationship with your young kids.
