[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you hold your brother’s wife accountable for his behavior? I’ve never had a close relationship with my SIL, and it’s fine—we’re very different and not close in age. But my husband has never put much effort into his relationship with his family—as a brother, uncle, or son—and I sometimes feel like I’m held responsible for that.

Like if he forgets to RSVP for a wedding, or doesn’t buy gifts for his nieces and nephews, or if he’s not visiting his mother very frequently, it seems to reflect more poorly on me than him, but I don’t know if I’m just imagining hard feelings.[/quote]

No, but I find it odd that you will not also do those things as they are also your nieces and nephews and your MIL and you are included on the invitation.  I look poorly on you for your own actions.[/quote]

Oh step off you stepford wife. Go clutch your nasty pearls elsewhere. [/quote]

DP. No it is not being stepford wife to recognize that yes they are your family too. This is one of those hot debate topics on this board that has nothing to do with how couples divvy up household management, just whether you see his family and yours and vice versa, which I think in a healthy family yes you do.
