This is why you don't marry a moma's boy.

Well your idiot son is the one who MARRIED her and has sex with her! So you really only have yourself to blame for raising such a moron.

I love the IL posts. I love love love my in laws and think they're wonderful and I like to come on here because it makes me appreciate them all the more.

For every one of you exasperated by irritating and obtrusive inlaws, there are some of us hurt by inlaws who don't give a s***. My DH's dad, brothers and SILs have yet to ask me how I and my DS are spending Thanksgiving and Christmas this year - even though my military DH is overseas on operations and both my parents are dead. I have made arrangements - which I'm actually really looking forward to. But it would be nice if they even only inquired into how we are coping. That said, it would also have been nice if they remembered to send just a card to my DS on his birthday (his dad was away for that too). I continue to send cards and gifts to FIL and their kids, so it's not like there's no communication between us.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this neglect, OP. That sounds difficult and unfair.

But your experience on the "there should be more contact" end of the spectrum does not negate the very real difficulty some of us go through on the "there should be far less intrusiveness" on the other end of the spectrum. We can all offer empathy and support to each other, and allow each other space to vent, without saying "you're problems aren't valid because my problems are different and difficult."

Sorry...I meant "your problems," not "you're problems."

PP here. I'm sorry if my little rant came across as negating the problems some have with meddling ILs. Those issues are valid. I guess I just wanted to show that the flipside of having irritating ILs isn't so great either. I hope most people have ILs somewhere in the middle ground - being supportive, caring but knowing when to step back?
