[quote=Anonymous]Idk. Dhs parents are very nice. They never call us and never visit us. They expect us to visit once a month, every holiday and are upset dh doesn't call. I used to put forth more effort, but I'm not the parent or their kid so I've stopped. I nag dh to call, but he doesn't. I've started visiting every other time they visit us. It's absolutely insane that retired people can't visit us in our nice house with a guest bedroom, but they expect us all to cram into one room at their house for constant visits. They should try calling their son, but they think sons should call them. It's not working out well for them. I can't manage this relationship anymore. It was stressful to me and I have my own family to manage.

My parents and I have an equal relationship. We call and visit equally. Visits aren't only on my my family. And when we visit my parents they have beds for all of us.

I think time and attention should go downhill. Everything should be focused on the younger generation, which are my kids. [/quote]
