[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm amazed at the attitudes that MIL is only the husband's responsibility.  MIL birthday should be on the calendar and its just being decent not to schedule anything and expect to go to dinner.  How do you want to be treated as an in-law?[/quote]

I’ve been married for 20 years and I don’t know the date of my MIL’s birthday — although I do know it is the same month as mine. He handles his family’s birthdays just fine. I expect my own child to handle my birthday. But I’m also really direct and tell people what I would like to do (with appropriate notice). And I’m not going to be hurt if my kid declines to bring my grandkids to something with 24 hours notice.[/quote]
Yes you do know her birthday. Come on. I can’t stand my MIL and I know when her birthday is. What dentist is open at 5 pm on a Friday? I would have gone with both kids and gotten something to go at the end for DH since he was at work. [/quote]
Dp. Not necessarily. I’ve been with my husband for 20 yrs and I only recently learned his bday… bc my nephew was born the same day. I would have never known otherwise. It’s not uncommon to not know when your spouses family was born. [/quote]

Strange it’s not on a family calendar.  [/quote]
