does it bother you if people don't get your jokes?
it honestly doesn't me as some are fairly subtle or layered, but my first goal is to amuse myself and if others are also then that's just an added bonus

most of the time when people don't get the joke it's usually because (1) they're too stupid, or (2) by the time they unpack everything that goes into the joke, the joke has lost whatever humor there was.

We all grieve and deal with things differently. Sure you lost a brother but those kids lost their father. You can't play rank the relationship but you can be the father figure they need. If I were you I'd do something fun like make ice cream sundaes and then when all are together make a light hearted apology and joke about something you and your brother did when you took something too seriously. Make it a bonding moment, let those kids know that you are hurting too but also that you can not only express that hurt but are willing to let them in and share that hurt.
Bond and be together. Those kids need you.
i want to acknowledge this because this is some of the best advice i've seen on this god-forsaken site. now, admittedly, the bar is pretty low. but still.

Hardly. It's much easier to say than to do. Good luck friend.

Good days and bad. The niece takes too much after her mom for us to really trust anything she tells us. I think she’s just going thru the motions and doing what she has to until mom does JUST enough to get them back. Then her plan is to go back to what she had been doing before. It’s very frustrating and I feel defeated every day.
