This "I will sever ties at the drop of a hat" thing is confusing, though.
Dear people: Invite your BIL-and-sister to things without kids sometimes.
But also, your b-i-l should at least behave politely to the grand-kids. I don't like everyone in the world, and I do try and avoid extensive contact with some people, but if they're at a thing I'm at, I'm polite. (And avoid them when possible.) It's not like it needs to be a Big Thing.
