I think that in most relationships people don't feel threatened by the attention their love interest gives to his family because essentially: family comes first (unless you marry him).
I understand your frustration though, a little bit. I was with a guy for two years who had an older sister, one who didn't approve of me. He was a biologist and during the summer months he worked in the field (way way out in the bush) for two weeks, then he'd have four days off. We would make plans for his days off and I would look forward to it. But his sister would call within an hour of him getting home and beg him to come see her because she was bored. He always went out of duty to her, of course. It bothered me and made me feel unimportant (not so much jealous though) because it happened every time he had a weekend off.
When you make someone your number one priority and they don't make you their number one too, it sucks.
Is it normal if I'm jealous of my boyfriend/love interest's family?
