[quote=Anonymous]There are some families that really value these hallmark holidays (as well as other holidays) over everything else.  My inlaws are basically crushed if we forget Vday, mother's day, father's day, and birthdays.  The odd thing is that we could be totally estranged from them all year and send a $2.00 card on one of those events and they feel completely loved and happy.  OTOH, we could shower them with gifts, calls, visits, a "saw this and just thought of you" gift every single day, and then miss sending a vday card and they practically disown us - tell us we're ungrateful, don't love them, etc.

My parents are completely opposite.  they actually get mad if we "waste money" on stupid cards for these events.  They forget when their own birthdays are (I've called my mom on her birthday and she responded with why are you calling?  my birthday?  oh yeah, that's right.  thank you.) but throughout the year, if I don't talk to them for over a week or two, they are calling and getting mad that I haven't called (or they'll call me and get mad if I don't return the call)

I think it's just the way some families are. [/quote]
