[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can understand that hurt your feelings and I'm sorry, OP.  But that is a LOT of time with your family.

And as someone that's childfree (not a man), I don't really enjoy spending time with other's children, especially their babies. Is your DH vocal about wanting to remain childfree? [/quote]

DH, is surprisingly enthusiastic around nieces and nephews from his side of the family. He bought early Xmas presents and birthday presents for them during our last visit because he knew we would not be coming for Christmas. He will hold the babies and play with the kids.

But my brothers child? He’s not interested and does the bare minimum to interact with her when we’re visiting. [/quote]

So what? She isn't his family. [/quote]

What the actual? When you get married you join yoir spouse's family. DH and I have to neices, one from each "side" and we are both crazy about both of them.[/quote]

Er, no. I'm not this PP, but they aren't your family unless you welcome them as such. It's great that you and your DH both enjoy the other's family, and have thus accepted them as your own family, but it's not always this way. In some cases, a niece is just a kid that a random woman had with the brother of your wife, as in the case above. He's not obligated to spend his time with a child because of two marriages. And maybe he just doesn't really like the mother, or the kid, or the father (BIL). Who knows.[/quote]

Wow it makes me so sad and freaked out for humanity that you could disdain a child b.c you have some beef with the kids parents. That's so cold hearted.[/quote]

Do you really think your SIl or BIL is going to go out of their way to make sure you see your niece and nephew if you and DH split up?  Not going to happen.[/quote]
