[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are families like this? I would absolutely have my kids sent little notes to their cousins at camp. I'm sure your niece will write them back. This little bit of family love and happiness between the cousins will cost you less than $5. And you can drop the letters at the end of your own driveway in your mailbox. The effort is next to nothing.

"The effort is next to nothing."  Then DH can lead this effortless charge.  The heart of most of these responses is that women should always look for ways to keep family relations, husband be damned. [/quote]

Not at all.

Its that family relationships are not blood only.

OP can write a letter to her niece and sign it with her name only.  They are still family even if not blood related.

That's the underlying theme to this whole "drop the rope" trend that I'm uneasy with.  While I'm 100% on board with the moms/wives not having to do all family event planning/coordination/keeping in touch, there's also an unpleasant theme of "its not my family; it's DH's family"

Which is wrong.  It's still your family[/quote]

Totally agree with you[/quote]
