[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi Karyn, I’m looping Brad in to this text chain so you two can communicate about this directly. As you know, I am not his secretary, so he is in charge of his own tasks and calendar. I’m going back to enjoying my Mother’s Day now.[/quote]

This is really rude. First sentence is sufficient. [/quote]

What is rude is an adult woman reaching out to another adult woman on Mother's Day--a day during which SHE should be relaxing--to prompt her to act like a secretary or a family therapist, instead of reaching out to her own damn brother directly. If SIL wants to be the bossy type, she can damn well pick up the phone and boss her own brother around to call his own mother.

Leave the other woman--who should be relaxing on Mother's Day herself--out of it.

I ain't his secretary, I ain't his family therapist. Do not try to put me in that role. THAT is rude. [/quote]

no wonder 50% marriages fail[/quote]

I have been happily married for 14 years and have two beautiful children. I have a great relationship with my ILs, and my husband gets along great with my family as well. My husband is a responsible, caring adult, and as such, he knows to call his mom on Mother's Day.

Part of the reason my marriage is successful is that neither my husband nor my ILs would ever dream to think of me as responsible for my husband's calendar or for all family dynamics.

I'm sorry you guys chose to date and marry someone who needs "prodding." I chose to marry a fully realized adult. [/quote]

You didn't grow up with brother did you?[/quote]
