[quote=Anonymous]Yes be more like your Dad - sounds like he's handling this just right. And yes talk to your SIL directly vs 'hinting.' If everyone in this situation would stop playing mind games and just communicate directly you would all be better off. Also realize that you are contributing to this dynamic by your desire to avoid stepping on toes / make everybody happy. And in your house you get to set rules that everyone including other children are expected to follow. Sure it's better if their parents do the job, but if they don't then you can. As for your SIL crying that her kids aren't included, she apparently needs to hear what I tell my 7 year old frequently, that it's not exclusion if the other kids don't want to play your game but are happy for you to join in with what they want to play. So next time she pulls that simply respond that her boys are of course welcome to join the other kids in x,y or z whenever they feel like it.[/quote]
