[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - Mary is 35. Does not have a car. All these sibs live convenient to DC.

I wish there was a way to tell my DH that she needs to be an adult and figure this stuff out on her own - make her own plans, make her own decisions, and not expect my family to be responsible for her.

Ideally, I'd also like to tell him that if she were more pleasant or accommodating, she would likely get the results she wants.[/quote]

Uh, so tell him that.  These are not unreasonable things to communicate to a spouse.[/quote]

Well, I've tried many times and he just can't/won't hear that Mary's well being is not my personal responsibility - he takes the tack of saying - if Mary had a car, she would always ask your brothers to come with her, etc - which we can't test, of course. And DH expects that I should intermediate and make my brothers do things for her.[/quote]

"I can't make my brothers include your sister."  repeat as necessary.  refuse to engage.  [/quote]

PP again.  this is sounding more and more like a DH problem, not a SIL problem.  [/quote]
