[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somehow many of you missed that in DH's family, funerals are important to attend even if for distant family. So it would go to reason that this would extend to DH's wife for her immediate family like a parent or sibling's death. That's not unreasonable. The same holds true for my husbands family but when my father died all I got was a text from a few of them. That's really hurtful.  I totally get it OP. [/quote]

No, you misread.  OP said, in response to another PP saying their DH had an enmeshed, show up for everyone approach:

[i][b]My family is like your DH side, culturally super important to show up.[/b] Maybe part of the bristle I feel is the cultural divide (and the sorrow I feel for my mom, as culturally in law relationships are important but my husband’s family — though not my husband — has different cultural values).[/i]

So, OP's family is the "funerals are important to attend" side, not DH or SIL.  OP is just really digging her feet in on making SIL the bad guy based on . . . nothing.  And on the one hand I get it: easier than staring into the abyss.  But that doesn't make it right or fair.[/quote]
