[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her lack of communication is the communication. She is telling you that she is uninterested in talking with you or having a relationship with you.

[b]I would stop, personally.[/b] I’m close to some of my relatives & not close to others. I think it is unrealistic as they become adults that you will have the same exact relationship or contact with all 24 nieces and nephews. [/quote]

My brother and SIL get upset if I don't reach out on their birthdays and on holidays.
I missed one nephew's birthday once and got an earful. [/quote]

How long ago was that? Because if they are 18-22, I can’t imagine brother and SIL have any idea what you are doing or not - do these kids still live at home & the parents check their messages every night?

I would still stop, with niece who doesn’t respond. These nieces & nephews are adults. Niece has chosen no relationship & you are respecting that. You can explain that if anyone has a question. Relationships between adults are not an obligation, both parties get to choose to participate or not.[/quote]
