[quote=Anonymous]I wonder if you are putting up a distance-just-give-me-space vibe, which causes ILs to try even harder, because they are trying so hard to have a relationship with you?? I would try harder and see if they relax. Like, bring photos to share with them of their kid and your kids if you have them. "I thought you would love to have one of these framed." Or some little thoughtful gifts that say you notice what they like. Say the dad IL likes to fish, then bring him a book on fishing, or even some fun lures. And if the mom IL likes gardening, bring her some fun garden gloves. "Just something fun I thought you might like." Small, personal, inexpensive gifts FROM YOU that show that you "see" them. [/quote]
