[quote=Anonymous]Totally agree with the PPs, especially 13:22. I was in a similar position except it was me and my ILs. My DH couldn't understand why I couldn't be 'closer' to them. It wasn't enough that I was respectful and made sure we did all the family things. DH wanted me to call his mother, go shopping or go out for coffee. Totally not my thing! I really don't like chatting on the phone, I don't like shopping (at least in this country - give me a bazaar or suk and I'm totally there) and I'm not a coffee drinker! I like a good cocktail but ILs are teetotalers. We actually had to go to counseling over it because it became such an issue in our relationship. While things got better over the years, I never felt I could relax around my ILs and never felt I could allow myself to become close. They always felt intrusive. They're both dead now and while I'm really sorry my kids don't have them (they were fabulous grandparents), I don't miss them and the drama at all.[/quote]
