debi's post reminded me of something I forgot to put in my earlier post: It seems like a lot of couples today are under the impression that getting married entitles them to use everybody they've ever met to grab all the loot they can. If you're invited to a shower, you should be invited to the wedding, & if you haven't been invited to the wedding & to the reception, you aren't expected to provide a gift. If you're invited to the wedding but not the reception (ie, they don't have to feed you), my free advice is to send them a card & stay home. Some couples have found a new way to separate the A List & the B List: they have 2 receptions, 1 with champagne & a sit-down dinner & 1 with punch & cookies. Unfortunately, the B List guests don't find out about it until the actual event... People who put no reasonably or modestly priced items on their registries are putting their guests in an uncomfortable bind, & I always think it isn't accidental; they're using people & they know what they're doing.. This also applies to people who have many different registries & those who register for, say, 4 vacuum cleaners & 3 different food processors & a $300 toaster-people who do this are going to return most or all of their gifts for cash. Nobody has to buy their gift off a registry, or even any gift at all; do what your heart & your budget tell you.

I just hate to not have a relationship w his sisters, You need to let go of what you want and what you want for him. He obviously developed into an awesome person without a close relationship with his father's family. He can have an awesome life without them, if that how it all ends up. they forget about us most of the time Sounds like they are high school girls. My daughter is 21 years old, so not that long out of high school. Your husband's sisters are thinking about dates, prom, colleges, looking cute at school, homework. Not their grown stepbrother and his wife. You and your husband (in their minds) are going to come after sports, school, dating, friends, etc. It doesn't always have to be that way, but for now that's the way it's going to be. They may be interested in you more later on as they get older. Keep in contact, but don't try to project your need onto them. I need to gracefully take what ever inclusion they are willing to give There are some nuances to this. Yes, you need to accept that they are a foursome and don't really want to let you completely into their little group, just on the edges. You need to accept it gracefully. Which leads me to.....you and your husband don't have to sit around waiting for the crumbs of affection they throw your way. There are only 24 hours in a day. The time you spend thinking about and wishing for your husband's father's family's affection is time you could spend thinking about and pursuing other terrific things. The world is full of wonderful, fun, caring, generous people. You and your husband are young, full of energy and have your whole lives ahead of you. Quit wasting your energy on his family and pursue friendships and family relationships with people who want to include you. I gotta let it roll off and be a magnanimous person, it is just hard! I will try even harder, though! If I were in your shoes, I'd quit trying so hard. That's probably part of the problem. Quit caring so much. So you don't get cool in-laws to hang out with - go find some other cool people to be part of your lives. You can't "fix" your husband's family, but you can find other people to fill the void. It does help to be able to vent and get advice from people who don't know you. Good luck whatever you decide.

Reading these stories made my day! I retired (early) in September. I used to have teams all across the country while working. Some days they did incredible things to make sure our clients got what they needed, and other days they had terribly long, hard days trying to achieve the same thing. I buy Lindt Truffles bulk, and whether it was a great act of service, or an 'I'm sorry you have to work so hard', I'd send them a box of truffles that I'd make up, with all the flavors Lindt makes. They were so thrilled - it's amazing what chocolate can do for people. Now I keep a stash of them with me while I'm grocery shopping or whatever. When the deli person hands me my cheese, I hand them back some truffles. I go into CVS and bring a pocketful, and give them to the cashiers and people behind the pharmacy counter. I was in a long line at Joann Fabric, where they have a candy display, with the truffles they sell at outrageous prices for one. The woman in front of me had a young boy who wanted one badly, and I caught her eye and told her what I had in my purse. She said yes, and they both were so happy to taste a flavor they'd never had before. The cashiers at the check out get a compliment and a truffle. The person driving the 'rescue dog transport leg' to meet me for leg of the journey gets truffles, as do the UPS folks and the mailman, and the woman who draws blood for tests after a doc appt. It makes me so happy to see them surprised and happy that I keep ordering the truffles in bulk. :-)
