[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you obviously harbor a lot of hostility toward these kids. They are obese, they are outrageously behaved, they can't even swim for 20 mins (just "wave their arms in the shallow end" after being bribed.) Really? Is it even remotely possible that you resent them and their mother for moving into your BIL's life after the death of your SIL? I have similarly aged boys, and what you describe is so far over the top it strains credulity. (Of course the idea of spending all summer at a family compound and every Sunday together is also, ahem, highly unusual.)[/quote]

It's sad that you fin family spending time together highly unusual.[/quote]

I'm with pp. Summer at the family compound? [/quote]

I'm not sure why this is so odd or offensive. We have a beautiful ranch near Telluride and family comes and goes all year. We are sometimes there for a long weekend alone and sometimes during a holiday there is a crowd. We are a tight knit family that enjoys each others company. Yes, we attend the same church. Yes, my mother, my SIL (my brothers wife) and I rotate Sunday family dinners. It is wonderful.

DH and his brother are the only family they have close. The rest of their family is spread over the midwest and south so my family has always included DH's BIL as much as we can. DHs mother and father are also welcome to stay at the family vacation home as often as they'd like. [/quote]
