[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. “He’s an introvert with mild social anxiety” is a pathetic, made up excuse. Get over it and learn to behave like a normal human. I’m so sick of all the “introvert” crap.[/quote]

I am not an introvert, I don't have social anxiety, and there is no effin' way I am getting on a group face time once a week with my inlaws (or anyone else, for that matter).  Like OP's husband, I'll pop on occasionally to say hi, or share a story, but this would absolutely not be park of my weekly schedule, and the fact that my MIL gets pushy and demands it wouldn't change that.  I view it is an unreasonable request, and jumping on periodically as the compromise.  There are very few people who have the right to demand my weekly attendance at something.

So in that sense, I kinda agree with the PP, for opposite underlying reasons.  If he's busy, or doesn't want to, that's reason enough - no need to fall back on the social anxiety introvert crutch.  But I think in this case, the DH is behaving exactly like a normal person - the MIL's demands are absurd.  [/quote]
