They Wont Be Talking For A VERY Long Time

My mom and brother that is.
It has been over a month since their big fight.
Over the past month they have seen each other and twice they have yelled comments to each other
On Sunday my brother said he never wants to talk to her ever again. And yesturday my mom said she wants nothing to do with my brother and SIL.
Only thing is my bro and SIL wont allow their kids to talk to my mom or wave at her or anything.
So when family functions come up, my bro and SIL wont be coming. They can come the next day or something. I am not going to make the rest of the family uncomfortable with the tension between them.
With my boys birthdays, I told my bro and SIL they can come by the next day and have some cake. And if this drags on till Christmas then we will get together with them another time.
UGH I hate this!!

I'm not sure I know whats going on.. but.. honestly..

They need to grow up!

This is affecting YOUR family, and YOUR kids.

I know it's none of my business.. but.. it may also sound rude..

If your mom was to pass away(OR if something were to seriously happen).. and with him not talking to her for a month now.. how would he feel?

Thats just something I think about. Because I was made at my mom when she died.. it's a horrible.. horrible feeling.

Sorry.. I don't want that to sound rude, but They are adults.. can't they come to a civil decision and resolve things???

I totally agee with you again Robyn! They are both adults, but they are both on the same page with attitude. They do not want to speak to the other. Nothing I can really do. But I am staying out of it so it does not turn into a huge family thing.

We all want our families to get along and be happy but it doesn't always happen that way. We are the ones that choose not to go to most family functions because of a certain person being there and while I know it upsets my inlaws, they know the reason and while they may not agree at least they accept it. That's why we hold family functions at our house a lot - so that person won't be there!

But that's not helping your situation, I know. I don't remember what the fight is about but hopefully they can soon resolve it and everything can get back to normal for your family. Until then, I agree that you're doing the best you can given the situation.

That really stinks because it probably hurts the kids more than anyone to not be able to see their grandma, and it puts the whole family out. I hope they can sort things out soon.

I hope they are able to sort things out soon as it is obviously starting to put a strain on family.

Jenn that sucks. I am sorry your brother and your mom are acting this way. You are stuck in the middle like my brother Corie is for my Dad and I. I have decide I will not do that to hime. Like when he went up to see my dad for Father's day I asked how was the trip and what they did and asked him if he had a good time, he said yes and I left it at that. You thanked me for not asking more. Worked for me and I know you will find a way to make the peace between the ones you love too.
