[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally think it matters because that’s how I grew up. 
My SIL is also my kids Godmother and only lives 20 mins from us. They don’t have kids of their own but spend no time with my DD who is now a tween. No taking her out for ice cream, no going to a movie, nothing in 12 years. My kid sees my family in Europe more than she sees her Aunt here. 
You can’t control other people though OP. So you can think it’s rude but you can’t control SIL. She is allowed to make her own choices. You know where her priorities lay. [/quote]

Why would HER priorities be your child? Of course she makes her own choices as it is HER LIFE. It is none of your business how they spend their time. Do they judge you on how you spend your time? I would avoid you too.[/quote]
I’m the PP. I didn’t say her priorities should  be my child. My priorities weren’t my nephews and niece on a daily basis BUT when I went home to visit my family I made sure I saw them, I sent gifts for Christmas and Birthdays. 
Taking their niece  out for lunch or an ice cream or something would be a way to stay in touch and create a relationship. 
Some people want that, some don’t. Clearly my SIL and OPs do not, it’s sad but just my opinion. [/quote]
