So my sister is here right now. She is unhappy in her marriage and her kids are weird. Her oldest is 12 and every time he comes over he just reads. He rarely talks. Her other kid is 7 or 8 and is always grumpy. Like one step away from tantrum grumpy. He doesnt talk at all. Except to complain. I feel so bad for my sister.

That sounds sad. But life is a marathon not a sprint, so maybe things will turn around for her.

Tell her maybe they will change once they hit their 20’s
The kids are sad. They haven’t had a good home life if there’s divorce. There was most likely a lot of stress in the household. They’re doing the best they can. Give them time to adjust
They didnt get divorced. They are staying together and trying to do counseling. But you can tell she isnt happy. I feel bad for the kids.

Yeah. The fights or unhappiness affects the kids a lot

Is it because they’re always this way or they just don’t want to go visit with you? I admittedly spend most of my time looking at a screen or a book whenever I’m forced to spend time with my wife’s family because I can’t stand them.

Could you maybe try to interact with them?
I spent one family reunion doing nothing but reading. I really regret not interacting with everyone, but I was worried about being judged, and it was an easy way to hide.
We try to talk to them but they just give a thumbs up or nod. They try not to speak. They dont like being away from their video games
