[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5 and 6 year olds do not get “offended” - op, you are the one who is offended and/or are vocalizing your negative characterization of SILs behavior in front of your kids. [/quote] This. If you treated the situation like it’s very normal for different families to have different preferences, then it wouldn’t cross your kids mind that anything was unusual. Also why are you complaining about SIL? Does her husband not have a role in the family? OP, I really think you need to stop obsessing on why a family does things differently than you. If you want your kids to have relationships, you can do what you can within the boundaries this family is setting - take advantage of the park play dates, invite the cousins along to things, invite them over, etc. But don’t expect to change your SIL and her husband. Good for them for having boundaries that work for them. [/quote]
