Just my ho. Good luck with whatever you choose do do!
You aren't in the minority here; I totally agree with you. Obligation can only go so far and it should go both ways. Not only did her niece not tell her niether did her sister. I wouldn't worry about it. I know people that say well but they are family; well as family it is even more important to let others know what's going on.
