[quote=Anonymous]It's been one heck of a rough year. My parents have bent over backwards, have taken of work to help, etc. My mom even took FMLA. My inlaws don't call or really talk to us. DH doesn't tell them everything that goes on and isn't a complainer, so maybe they don't know (giving them the benefit of the doubt). I was in the ER last night getting texts from them complaining about how we never visit and I just wanted to cry in frustration. I'm hurt they never visit or call us, but I do think this is DH's fault. WHY can't he call his parents? Why can't his parents visit us or help us? His parents are semi local and mine are not.

I'm trying to push my hurt down and not let it boil over when we see them this week. I'm positive they're going to mention our lack of visits. But I really am holding on by a thread over here. DH says I shouldn't compare our parents and I know he's correct, but the comparison is rough. I keep repeating that no one owes me anything, but then I'm frustrated that inlaws think they're owed visits too and the same quantity/quality as my parent's visits. I wish his were more involved in our life.  [/quote]
