[quote=Anonymous]100% not natural. It's conditioning and training. My family and friends are stellar. It's very thoughtful and they make a real effort.

SO's not so much. I got a nasty lecture about not maintaining his relationships for him fro. JNMIL so I dropped everything.

Thank you notes for gifts received, gifts for them, visits, calls, anything. They don't even get holiday cards. I always ask if he wants me to send them them one and he says no. I wrote the addresses, stamped, and got nice stationary for him to write thank you cards for his gifts. Nope. Still sitting there years later.

I think he's being a lazy git about it. It is his PA way of handling their years of unbridled aggression amd hostility towards me/our relationship, also.

I used to do a lot of work with gifts and letters and calls and graduation gifts, etc, but I don't care anymore. Everyone is old enough that the responsibility is on them to maintain their own relationships. I won't infantilize him or take work that isn't mine. [/quote]
