[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have an only child you should be very eager for him to start to make some sort of family / cousin connections. I bet he would be SO excited to have some other kids in the house! I can’t understand your POV[/quote]

DP. Someone just had to grab onto the fact OP and her DH have one child, and turn this into "Oh no, poor only child with nooooo playmates."

No, PP, only children do not necessarily have to have close relationships with cousins, nor does an only child always feel "SO excited" to have other kids around. But you likely believe the myth that all children who don't have siblings are either desperately lonely all the time, or are terribly unsocialized blah blah....Let's get back to OP's actual issue since you cannot "understand [her] POV." OP has repeatedly asked the SIL about getting the kids together and SIL has never said yes. Don't try to turn this around as if OP is the one denying her kid "family/cousin connections." It's the SIL who is doing that, not OP. And OP does not need to force any connections just because she has an only child. [/quote]
