[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very strange. Isn't that the objective of marriage - becoming one? No way would I distinguish nieces and nephews born to my siblings for those born to DH's brother. ??? Wtf.[/quote] In our family we do not distinguish one side from the other. In fact, DH calls my mom "mom". If MIL knew that, I am sure she would have an absolute hissy fit. Which would kind of amusing to me, really. In DH's family, I call MIL by her first name, and they (the ILs) are very much "well, they aren't REALLY YOUR aunt, uncle, etc." regarding their side. The ILs attitude, about refusing to be inclusive (unless it suits them, of course) is disgusting to me, frankly. [/quote] My MIL refers to me as an aunt to my DH's nieces and nephews, but is sure to add that I not a "blood relative." It's like she doesn't want them to get too close to me as if I could separate from the family at any moment. [/quote]
