Ask Amy: Wife can't seem to separate the twins
Dear Amy: My husband is an identical twin. He is very close to his twin brother, "Chet."
Chet is married and has three children. His wife is a spoiled millennial with a short fuse and unpredictable moods. My husband and I have tried for children for a decade now, with no luck.
I take issue with something I feel I can't talk to my husband about without him getting defensive and upset.
We are very good to his brother's family, attending the kids' games, events, and birthday parties.
I even gave up going on vacation this year so his brother and kids could go with my husband instead of me.
We give gifts to the kids, and for Chet and his wife's birthdays. (I'm lucky to get a text message on my birthday.)
For Christmas, we dropped more than $200 on gifts for all of them (three kids and two adults).
My husband and I received nothing from them.
I gave up my vacation for them. I give so much throughout the year! Do we just continue to be neglected because we don't have kids?
I felt like I was kicked in the gut leaving the Christmas 'gift exchange' with nothing.
