[quote=Anonymous]I am probably not as warm as they wish I was. My husband grew up in a family that's very close. He talks to his mom almost daily, and they have a big family call each weekend. I grew up raised by nannies and haven't had any contact with my mother in 15 years. Any time they call and ask to come visit, I say yes even if work is hectic or I've got a lot going on. I make sure we have foods they like, make reservations at restaurants they like, that they get alone time with DH. If I'm going to their area for work I haul the kids along so they can spend time with them. I make sure we get cards/thoughtful gifts out for mothers/fathers day, their birthdays, christmas. I try to get together with them for either thanksgiving or christmas. To be honest, I'm not really sure HOW to be a better daughter in law. I feel like I SHOULD do better or more somehow, but I'm not sure what exactly to do. [/quote]
