[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here,

I don’t communicate directly with her and I’ve made it clear to my DH that all communication with his family should go directly through him. I love my brother but I don’t have to love and fawn over my SIL and invite her into our lives. [b]It just feels intrusive because I thought I had made it clear my relationship is with my brother, not her.[/b] [/quote]

Good God--did it never occur to you that you could have a good relationship with both of them? [b]That their children will be your children's cousins?
[/b]
Are you afraid that your brother is somehow not interested and is letting his wife take over the relationship or something?  I think you need to take a breath here.[/quote]

You are being really short-sighted OP, in addition to being petty and mean-spirited.

Trust me, your life is not so amazing that your SIL is desperate to weasel her way in.  She's trying to reach out and show interest in her niece/nephew, and you're just nasty about it.  I feel sorry for her, but also for your kids, because they are going to miss out on a relationship with extended family because of your cold, narrow heart.  [/quote]
