[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me I am in the wrong here.

DH is deployed. I work full time, I have 2 DCs, 5 yo and 2 yo. I have no nannies, no regular babysitters, I am doing all the drop offs and pickups. I am doing all the activities. I am IT when kids are sick. ILs are retired and live close to SIL, a SAHM with HS-aged DCs, in another state. I have not received one phone call "hey, how are you doing?", "hey, he is gone for a while now, can you use some help?"

Right after Christmas my youngest had COVID. Not a single text or phone call about how he was doing. NOTHING. Instead, I am bombarded with pictures of them lounging by the pool or on the ocean. Obviously no invite "hey, kids have spring break? Come visit us".  But hey, I should send them annual pictures they can frame.

Should I confront them? I am fuming inside. I don't want to rile up DH but I am so sick of that. [/quote]
My ILs are like this. There is no point to confront because they don’t care. You can’t shame them into being better people. [/quote]

Or shame them into doing what YOU want. Good for in-laws for having boundaries. Hope they enjoy their retirement. Who would want to be a child caretaker when retired? They have been there done that.[/quote]
