[quote=Anonymous]How far away from mom does brother live? My mother in law (husbands mom) wants us to be there every weekend, but they live nearly 2 hours away. It’s hard to go up there when we are enmeshed in school, activities, sports, etc. We get up there once every 6-8 weeks and even that is challenging. If they lived within 15 minutes, it would be so much easier to engage constantly—inviting them to sit on the sidelines with us at baseball practice, popping over to drop something off and stay for lunch. If your mom is the same distance as in laws, I can see why you’re hurt, but if they are farther apart it’s just natural. Your mom needs to tell your brother that she wants xyz, and then brother needs to determine what he is comfortable with. You aren’t a part of the calculation because it has nothing to do with you.[/quote]
