[quote=Anonymous]In our case, MIL hasn't traditionally been kind, warm, accepting and certainly not helpful - so we don't go out of our way. In our house, I try to convince DH to call his mom and stay in touch, but I don't see a huge need on his end. The IL's include us in holidays and family vacations, which works, because I want our children to know their family. But truth be told, they don't really get the warm fuzzies from them, so to speak. They are not that kind of people. It is an enormous difference when we see me my family, even people we are meeting for the first time. Enormous - like night and day. Once my family meets you, it is as if you have known them all your life; you are treated as one of them (not just in words, but in actions - as some of them don't speak English - but this is also true of my American family). Short answer, we try, but tread carefully with DH's family. I think that your DH should step up. [/quote]
