[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for this, helpful reminder of the different dynamics. My family is like your DH side, culturally super important to show up. Maybe part of the bristle I feel is the cultural divide (and the sorrow I feel for my mom, as culturally in law relationships are important but my husband’s family — though not my husband — has different cultural values).[/quote]

C’mon OP.  It sounds like LOTS of people showed up.  Are you really gonna penalized those who didn’t.  And, again, what’s your SIL’s personal situation?  Does she have kids?   Does she work?  What kind of help does she have available to her?  Is she really the worst person on earth just because she did not move heaven and earth to get to your father’s funeral?[/quote]

No kids, no serious budget constraints, and has super flex work, has often come down and worked remotely, etc. from our house. She has been to Europe twice this summer for fun, one was last minute decision. So she has the time, money. But I hear the other points about maybe she thought she did enough. [/quote]

Yea OP you have GOT to get over this.  Some people are awkward about stuff like this.  She did the best she could.  Cut her a friggin break.  [/quote]
