[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The day to day answer is to not let her comments get to you or take them personally. A thing that could genuinely help is if your husband takes your kids to hang out with the inlaws for a weekend day here and there (or even an overnight) - while you get some solo time. (I don't suggest you plan this. But you could nudge your husband to think about it.)[/quote] It sounds like the DH doesn't care about this. I know in my family the "sons" haven't cared about the relationship with the parents. It's all up to the wives. I know my mom is extremely thankful that she has daughters. Her sons make no effort and then their wives resent my parents not being more involved. But I see how hard it is for my parents to develop a connection when my brothers do nothing to foster it. Basically, it's complicated. As with any relationship, they generally only work when personalities are compatible and the relationship isn't strained.[/quote]
