[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP the sad thing here is you probably you believe you are helping your mother - somehow. Guess what? You aren’t.

It is fairly obvious that you don’t like your SIL. I promise you she is very much aware of this. So is your brother. Why would they want to spend time with someone who is constantly nitpicking, stewing about and sneering at their vacations, values, kids’ schools? And constantly keeping score and being resentful of the time spent with SIL’s side?

You want to help your mom? Improve your relationship with your brother. Improve your relationship with SIL. Be someone they actually WANT to spend time with and see at holidays. You will see them more often that way and….guess what? So will your mom. Aside from that, your mom will pass away someday and the relationship with your brother may become more important to you. He isn’t the enemy and neither is his wife. I highly suggest you rethink your attitude about all of this - for everyone’s sake. [/quote]

This is a great response, bravo![/quote]
