[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think (sadly) that [b]it's always the woman's responsibility.[/b] I have to nag and nag my DH to call and visit. He loves his family too. I don't dislike my MIL, but we don't call or talk on the phone. In person it's fine.

I make all the plans and ask DH to coordinate with them. I send all the birthday/Christmas/mothers day cards. I also buy all the gifts and wrap them. But man I wish he'd call them more. [/quote]

Have fun living your life in the 1950s.[/quote]

It's not about the 1950's. It's about how most men don't really care about family.  Whoever has the closest relationship in the family is the one responsible for family closeness. Obviously OP's husband is not that interested in maintaining closeness to his own family.[/quote]

That makes no sense. All adult members of the family of origin are equally responsible for maintaining relationships, regardless of sex, age or marital status.[/quote]
