It's important for her to note her culture. Asian culture is vastly different from the typical American culture we think of, where everyone is wildly independent, and family relations are not as tight knit. In a lot of Asian cultures, people grow up living with other family members outside of their nuclear family, like aunts, uncles, and grandparents. It's not uncommon to see grandparents and grandchildren living in the same home.

Despite cultures, it's still a little creepy that the SIL of the narrator is skeptical of her relationship to her brother. She should be supporting their bond, instead of trying to sunder it. If there's something nefarious at play, then that's something differently entirely. I have known siblings to come off as different than just family members, and it's definitely disturbing. But we don't know her side of things.

UPDATE: Woman lies to husband and his family about her “babysitting” her own kids while he was on vacation, he finds out she dumped the kids on her mother-in-law, revealing embedded trust issues from the past
Welcome ladies and gentlemen of the internet to Cheezcake, the site where you can read about all things juicy and dramatic. What do we have in store for the class today? It's an update from a Reddit post a while back, about a woman who's scrutinized for not thanking her SIL for taking care of her own kids during a vacation. You heard it, a woman took care of her own children, but wanted to slap the label of babysitting on it for thank you handouts. There's obviously some deep resentment or trust issue at play here, but let's take a step back and observe it from a different frame first.
Family dynamics are like snowflakes; no two families are the same. But when we enter a relationship with someone, we may imprint our own familial experiences on theirs. What we view as normal or bizarre may twist and turn when we see our partner's relationships. If we didn't grow up with a brother as a woman, it may feel strange to see opposite gender siblings get along on an intimate level. So this brings us to the story.
As previously mentioned, the story below is an update about a woman and her brother going on a vacation to Scotland together. The brother's wife becomes bitter about having to stay home and take care of the children, and demands a thank you from her SIL. The SIL gives one to keep the peace, but deeper truths about why the wife was so upset at their vacation reveal themselves.
