[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what it may look like from his end:
My sister is closer to mom than I am and mom has always been around to help with her kid, but now that I've tot kids, she less excited and less involved.  She and sister judge my wife and exclude us from planning because they just decide what works for them and invite us along on their plans.  They planned a big family trip, including an overseas flight while we are still adjusting to an infant, so now my kids either miss out on time with their grandparents, my family misses out on a free European vacation and I get labeled a troublemaker, or I have to schlep my two kids, including an infant on first a cross-country and then an overseas flight.  And to top it all off, they arbitrarily decided on a cut-off day for choosing dates without telling me and booked flights without giving me the time ai needed to clear our schedules, so now my sister has herself, her husband and our parents to help with her elementaryschooler, but wife and I have to handle our two kids (including an infant!) alone![/quote]

I think some of the information is missing. Brother has two parents to handle two kids. Your husband isn't going so it's only yourself. Was brother consulted on location (ie did he want something closer to him that didn't involve as many flights)? Do your parents go out there to help when their babies are born? Sometimes I find parents help at births for their daughters more than their sons. I suspect there is some back story here.[/quote]
