[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know 0 people IRL who have so much dislike for their in-laws. Who are you people?[/quote] I like my ILs a lot. That doesn't mean that I should be the one taking on the emotional labor of remembering birthdays, sending gifts, sending flowers, arranging visits, planning vacations, etc. It's called division of labor: family connections are important to DH and to me, but we both work outside the home, and we have two kids. So we equally participate in family connections by each taking the lead on our own family. If we ever need help (like if one of us is slammed at work and asks the other to pick up a mother's day card while they are at the grocery store getting one for their own mom), we help each other. DH sometimes asks me for gift ideas, or bounces an idea off me. My DH took care of my mom's birthday present when I was recovering from a C-section. Show me the problem.[/quote]
