[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it is controlling the relationship but rather facilitating a closer relationship in the family. My parents, siblings, spouses, kids etc are all on one big Whatsapp group. It is wonderful to be able to share news, greetings, pics etc with everyone. I video call regularly with my brothers, mom and one sis-in-law. My mom (82 years old) - is a very connected person. She is the revered matriarch of my maternal and my paternal side of the family. She remembers the names, birthdays and anniversaries of everyone, and is a great confidante for everyone. My advice would be to take the initiative and make a group chat with the ILs including siblings and spouse. Make everyone the admin. Don't comment too much but send cute gifs to wish for things like birthdays, anniversaries etc, and occasionally send some picture of innocuous stuff. [/quote]
