[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the text reads as follows:

Grandparents - Hi my adoring son.  we would love to invite ourselves over to your house for a visit

Harpy wife - This is the wife, NO[/quote]

More like "Hi Larlo, we'd love to see the kids; is there a time in the next few weeks that works?"

Response from wife's phone: "I saw that you asked Larlo about times to get together. We're really busy in the next few weeks and need to focus on family time when we're not busy. Maybe another month." [Repeat in 4-6 weeks] She's not aggressive, just evasive. I am sure you won't believe this because it doesn't fit your preexisting narrative, but there are truly no facts that would make this normal. My parents are easygoing, nonjudgmental, and eager to be helpful. SIL is not a harpy, but she has chosen to stand in the way of this relationship for reasons that are opaque to me. It is what it is.[/quote]

So me:

USING THE ACTUAL PHONE AND NOT TEXT:

“Hey bro, how’s it going? Heard mom and dad are trying to meet up with you. Sounds super busy. They really miss you guys, what’s up?”[/quote]

NO.   This does not involve anyone else but Brother and Parents.[/quote]

Then stay out of it and stop blaming the SIL![/quote]

PP with the brother and SIL discussed in this post: the above wasn't me. I do stay out of it. That doesn't mean I don't have opinions on it. Also my brother is 32 and hates talking on the phone, like most young(ish) men.[/quote]
