[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are all of you giving this woman yet another thing to do? She's managing the kids and working! Her DH should have set this up before he left because it is HIS family. OP - first decide what involvement you want from your in-laws. Some people would be thrilled with this arrangement. Then, if you do want involvement, get your DH on board and have him contact them. [/quote] He's not in Cleveland for a week, he's deployed overseas. The communications are a bit different. OP, my husband isn't military but has a similar travel schedule for work. During the months he is abroad, I manage my in-laws roughly the same as DH and I would if he were home in terms of initiating phone calls and inviting them for visits. It's not for my benefit it (it's just an extra chore for me) but for my kids so that their father's work doesn't interfere with them developing relationships with their extended family.[/quote]
