[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ummm…Why did you pick up the rope in the first place? My husband has always been in charge of communicating with his family and I’m only responsible for my parents and siblings. [/quote] Young and naive, I suppose. Wanted to be accommodating and nice. Not sure why. But I know I’m not the only one![/quote] You’re not the only one, OP. I wanted to be inclusive and encourage good relationships between my MIL and our kids. After seeing how little regard she has for them, and how she’s disappointed them time and again, I’m done. DH sometimes follows up, but this is one more ball I refuse to juggle. OTOH, my mom tries hard to be there for our kids, to the extent she can be (she has more obligations than MIL, which make it harder for her). So, DH and I work to model being there for her, e.g., helping while she was undergoing cancer treatment.[/quote]
