My brother and his wife came from out of town and crashed at my place for the weekend basically to shop for a lot of items to take back home with them to the Cayman Islands. Near the end of breakfast at a restaurant on Sat., my sister-in-law decided to tell me how her 5-year old son is doing since I never asked about him since they both came to visit me. Yet, I recently asked how he was doing about a week ago over the phone before they came to town. She said that she's a very family oriented person and that me and my side of the family need to be more involved in his life more. She gave me reasons why but I don't remember half of what she said other than when he grows up, he'll remember who did good to him, spent time with him etc. I don't quite understand where she and my brother are coming from other than they don't want to ever see their child hurt. Do any of you who are family-oriented, see exactly where they're coming from? The last thing I want to do is talk to them about this again.
