BIL is here for the holidays with his "roommates" and friend, and proceeds to say almost nada to his own brother over the past two days. Train wreck SIL finally makes good on her promise to visit (with her husband & 3 kids). So I turn on Facebook to see nothing but her going on about her brother (BIL) being home for the holidays... um, you have another brother - did you forget?! All I see on FB is pictures of SIL, BIL, his friends, cousins, and maybe one of her kids - NO mention of DH or DS. I finally asked her if DH & DS made it to the restaurant. I know I'll hear noise, but how rude and disrespectful can you get?

You cannot make people love you. My brother told me I had not been a part of the family in over 30 years. Never mind I constantly gave free babysitting to their son who is now 28, and their daughter who is now 22. People are dysfunctional. You cannot fix this garbage. If your husband chooses to put up with it, it is on him.

That's too bad about your baby being sick.
Happy Birthday.

Oh c'mon, let the girl be creative on Facebook! Jenny, you should post something like, "glad SIL, BIL, etc could all make it over for Thanksgiving this year. So, who's hosting next year?"

Tina, do you pretend certain family members don't exist? I don't but I'd sure like to. DB has not spoken to me in almost a year, due to the fact that he thinks he deserves to be getting more money from my late mother's estate. He got what was due him, as did my other brother. He's just stuck on the fact that the world owes him because he and lazy DW cannot support the lifestyle to which they would like to become accustomed. Sorry for that rant in the middle of your thread. Point is, you cannot change people, or their selfish focus in life. They are who they are, and you did not choose to be related to them, or get them as part of the package deal when you said "I do." You either have to smile and nod or just stay away as much as possible and think of them as more of an outlaw annoyance than anything else. MJ, I was thinking of you the other day. I'm hoping you are doing OK.

How much longer do you have them MJ? When I used to travel around this time, I avoided Sunday travel at all costs. Hopefully your relatives will leave today.

Tina, do you pretend certain family members don't exist? Honestly, I wouldn't care if someone didn't post about me on Facebook. Maybe it was an oversight or maybe she just isn't as close to your husband as she is to the other brother. It doesn't sound like you like her much anyway so I don't know why you are so upset over her Facebook post excluding your husband.

X 2 I am married to my wife not her family and what they do barely registers with me unless it bothers my wife and she starts talking/complaining about it. But usually 95% of the shit they pull only gets a "mmmm, ok" from me and life moves on.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Tina, do you pretend certain family members don't exist? I have family members that pretend that I don't exist.. If I want to be more specific, it's my entire side of the family. And, I'm an only child...so it's not like there any other options. I don't have Facebook. Sometimes, I think my life is easier that way. I don't need to keep contact with folks that aren't interested in me. I see those that are regularly enough.

MJ - my husband's family was kind of like this. It was weird, and we were all civil to each other, but at any given time someone was holding a grudge. I'm not exactly sure what happened, but over the past two years, it has been a complete 180. The people that were always cold and distant are now holding the family together, and the ones that used to work super hard to create family time are now the ones that pop in when convenient. I didn't expect that - but we are coming up on 20 years together, so I guess anything is possible.
