Dear Queenie,
My husband and I have offered to take care of his brother’s children when he and his wife want to go out for an evening but they never ask us, they always ask her sister. I could understand if it usually happened, but not every single time.
Queenie, should we ask them why this is?—Ignored aunt and uncle
Dear Aunt and Uncle,
Of course you should ask them, but not in any angry or confrontational manner, just as a simple, civil request for information. And be prepared to accept in good spirit whatever answer they give you.
