[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious, on the day where they went out for beer and steaks without you, what was their excuse? Were they meeting friends for a preexisting meetup? Had you invited yourself over?[/quote]

We flew to LA soon after getting married on their request to see their new house and the brothers just wanted guys-only time but we were there for one weekend and they were gone from about 5 PM to 1 AM and then slept in the next day.  SIL had already made plans that night with her own friends (she didn't plan it and it was an event -- maybe a birthday party? Bridal shower?  I don't remember -- and explained that she felt bad but didn't feel like she could invite me because it was just close friends).  They left me with their sitter (who was also their M-F nanny) and their young kids.  I mostly watched TV with the nanny and then went to bed.  During the day, I was included and we went to a park with their kids.  And then we left Sunday night.  I felt like a 3rd wheel and just didn't want to be there again -- I intruded on the brothers' time and SIL didn't want to babysit me.[/quote]
