[quote=Anonymous]My FIL is in his 90s. FIL has never shown much warmth towards us and has never gone out of his way for us. When they come to town, it's to visit his wife's family. They don't even bother to ping us to let us know they're in town. He didn't contribute a dime towards our house or other expenses, but you can be sure he and his wife have funded her DC's lifestyle.  He has a lot of charm and is a lot of fun. He was a public figure in his day.

I expect if FIL or his wife find themselves needing help, they will call her DC. They wouldn't think of calling us. I've let them know they can call us if they need anything. We're a plane ride away, but closer than her DC or other siblings.

Does DH call his dad? He's hesitant to call.They don't have a relationship. Maybe DH could have tried harder, but he did put in an effort when he was younger, and it was not reciprocated. Like I said, they come to town, but don't bother letting us know they're here.

I think things get awkward when parents are married to a step-parent. The dynamic changes. I wouldn't dream of not contacting an elderly parent, but my parents were very different.[/quote]
