[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not an issue from my perspective. It's my DH's job to manage the relationship with his family not mine. I never even considered participating in their video chats and I like my ILs! Enjoy the free time.[/quote] Agreed. Lots of women get stuck having to maintain relationships between themselves and their in-laws because often emotional labor ( correspondence birthday cards, gift and the like) are defaulted to women as women's work. I take it as a win that your husband is being proactive in building the relationships between his children and his family. If you wanted to you could always send them emails or letters or other correspondence you wanted to connect with his family outside of video chatting. You could even reference the chat and say oh they were video chatting and I was busy doing X so I still wanted to see how you were doing.[/quote]
