Several days ago, this woman threw a birthday party for her son at her house.
Her brother-in-law and sister-in-law have two children, both of whom are older than her son.
She always invites them to family gatherings, so she invited them to her son’s party.
Her in-laws’ children have nut and sesame allergies, so this can make things a bit complicated when trying to go out for meals at restaurants.
Even though she always makes it a point to invite her in-laws to family gatherings, most of the time, they don’t attend, saying it’s because of their children’s allergies.
Despite only living 15 minutes apart from her in-laws, she and her husband don’t get together with them too often.
Her husband and his brother have a fairly good relationship with one another and communicate every day in a group chat they part of with their friends.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t have a close bond with her sister-in-law. While there’s never been drama, and they’ve never had issues, they don’t have any interests in common.
She’s tried inviting her sister-in-law to brunch and other events, but her sister-in-law never attends.
