[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not always the same dynamic. My brother's wife definitely prevents my parents from having much of a relationship with their kids. They live 20 minutes apart and see each other maybe 4 times a year. And there's no way to prove this online, but my parents are easy and pleasant to be around. I routinely call them to fly across the country to babysit for me for weeks and they do it, including dishes, yard work, etc. My SIL just doesn't want to facilitate a relationship for reasons unknown and my brother is passive and conflict-averse to the point of being practically dead. Obviously that's on him, but[b] if he were steering the ship my parents would definitely get their wish to babysit now and then or get together more than once a quarter.[/b][/quote] Didnt you just prove the OPs point? If your brother wanted his parents to babysit, he would arrange it and he doesnt. That is precisely on him not the wife.[/quote]
