Dear Queenie,
My husband’s parents live with us, so they are always there to take care of the children when we want to go out or just have some private time together. We can even go on vacation just the two of us without having to worry about the children.
However, my husband has two brothers and his parents never do anything with them. They hardly even know their other grandchildren.
Queenie, I feel like I should apologize to my sisters-in-law, but what do I say to them?—Favorite daughter-in-law
Dear Daughter-in-law,
Your sisters-in-law may not get along with their mother-in-law as well as you do.
You can suggest to your mother-in-law that she spend a little more time with her other grandchildren, and you can invite the families to your home now and then to give her a chance to see them – and hope that they all get along with her as well as you would like to see.
