[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, Then I’m just going to let it go and stop making the effort for their side of the family. DH can remember birthdays, dishes to bring to dinner, and the communication. If he forgets something, it’s not my fault. I thought I was doing something wrong, I wanted to make the effort but I think I’m just over trying. They’re his family, not mine. Pps, thank you for the responses. [/quote] Seems a bit vindictive and petty. Why not give up expecting more from her than she will do, and give up trying to be her friend, trying extra hard, but still show kindness when appropriate. It sounds like you are willing to be as obnoxious as she. Perhaps model something better than that for your children who will be SILs, too one day. Show kindness, be a caring spouse, and try your best with MIL. [/quote] OP is striving for “above it all” and has landed on “transparently petty.”[/quote]
