DS1 found a birthday card through the door from BIL/SIL addressed to him. Trouble is, it's 6 months till his birthday. DS2's is in a few days, so it obviously should be his. Luckily DS1 is a large and very lovely teenager, and went out of his way to buy another card and address it to (almost 7 year old) DS2, enclosing the tenner from card 1.
I'm somewhere between amused and furious. BIL/SIL have no kids of their own, but have always taken out/spent money on their niece and nephew on SIL's side, but my DC's (BIL is DH's brother) have never had so much as a look in. DH and BIL don't see each other or speak often even though we live in the same town, less than a mile apart. All past offers for them to "bob round for a brew/beer" are met with excuses. We have never once, in the 20 years we've been together been invited to their house.
On the rare occasions we see each other we get along fine. I just don't get it.
