[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t u dear stand how the parent of two young kids isn’t packing snacks. It’s a joke between DH and I how many snacks I pack even to go to the store, but my kid has never had a meltdown over being hungry, even travelling overseas. She doesn’t always need a snack, but... oh wait. She’s 4. Yes, she always needs a snack. Snacks are the special glue that holds them together to interesting things.

5 in insanely early for adults to have dinner. I could easily see where if things were busy during the day, and people got chatting, how 5 is a tough time to get dinner together. I’m actually assuming the grownups had already decided to nix 5pm dinner but didn’t tell you,

If BIL wanted to visit you, he would. He’s not staying with you, and he’s also not coming to visit you on his own. I’m assuming he has his car, or knows how to use Uber? He’s not a prisoner. Maybe you’re a little too kid centric or something right now and he’s not feeling it.

BIL1, BIL2 and SIL do not have cars.  They’re millionaires, but hate driving.  We pick up BIL1 when he comes out here.  He likes the kids, but can’t stand SIL.  He stays with them because they have empty bedrooms and live right by the subway.

If BIL1 is a millionaire he can manage getting a car to visit you on his own time.  Step back and let your DH handle this.

Yep. BIL1 is a grown-up. If he disliked SIL he could stay in a hotel or rent a car or take a taxi. He could easily say "Gosh, SIL and BIL2, I would love to see kiddie's rooms and brother's new TV (or whatever)." He doesn't want to come to your house or he would make it happen. [/quote]
