... making an effort, seeing their side of the story etc etc?
i'd like to make a bigger effort with my brother and SIL. at the moment, my relationship with them is kind of non-existant. See each other three times a year, even though we all live in london and have same age kids.
i get pissed off at the smallest things about them - it's my problem really. i mean, they are not perfect and don't make any huge effort either.
a good comparison is dh's relationship with his sister. she has huge expectations of him (and therefore us) which at times we find hard to fulfil. However cause she does so much of the legwork to make sure we all meet quite a lot, we have now have something great going on. again, she has kids same age as ours and they are all very close (and they live 200miles away).
someone join me?
