We've moved and you would not believe the drama that ensued. My oldest youngest sister says that she "loves those boys to death" but has decided that she won't acknowledge their birthdays.
She said that she doesn't want to be the 'faceless aunt' that sends cards and the boys don't know who she is. I guess the irony of the situation escapes her, that she had relatives during her childhood that did such a thing for her. Aunts and grandparents that lived in NH while we lived in PA and then the reverse when we moved to NH and left the PA relatives behind.
Essentially, she's decided that this is all about her and what the boys want or need doesn't matter. She's mad at us for moving and has decided to take it out on them. She predicted that we'll be back in a year (right!) and if that was the case wouldn't she want to keep the lines of communication open?
She's 45 going on 5 in my opinion.
