[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you need a routine with your dad, like an established good time to call. That can be hard calling someone on the west coast, but give it a shot. Tell him straight up that you are always glad to get his emails, but sometimes it takes a couple days for you to get a long enough window of time to write back anything substantial. And tell him that when he leaves a message he should tell you if he is just calling to chat or if he needs you to call back right away about something. It sounds like he is a little clueless about how busy you are--but that there are possible solutions. As for your ILs, that sounds more like you are fine. Is DH happy with how often he sees his parents? Does he schedule things with them? Let him take the lead there.[/quote]
