Let relatives work things out for themselves
Dear Lisi: My nephew was having a party, celebrating his 30th birthday. He invited my kids, his cousins, who are all in their 20s. He’s close with two and loves the third but they don’t spend time together. That child of mine is quiet, academic, and prefers a night home with her puppy than being out.
Before they even arrived, my sister called to berate me for “allowing” my daughter to be a “no-show” at her cousin’s important event. She was extremely “disappointed” in both me and my daughter and said that her son was “extremely hurt.” Dear Lisi: I have a younger brother with whom I’m close. He dated a woman for 10 years; they’re now married with a son. The problem is her lack of participation.
We’ve tried to talk sense into him, but he doesn’t view her as we do, and insists we just “don’t understand her.”Save our Sib
