This is not true. I think women stay closer to their parents and are better at managing relationships. Sons mangle their relationships and the wives suffer. [/quote]

“Managing relationships”?

I think you mean the need to control relationships. [/quote]

NP but not at all. We mean being the ones to coordinate, stay in touch, communicate, organize events, etc. Often the guys just...do not really care / can't be bothered, and the emotional and logistical work generally falls on the women. Are you a man?? [/quote]

If a guy doesn’t care enough to do this with his own family, then why, absent a compelling need to control the situation, do you?  To toss this into the pile of work getting dumped on you, it isn’t. You’re picking it up all on your own. And there’s a reason for that. So take a good long look at yourself because that’s where the problem lies.

If your husband does dump this on you, tell him to FO and grow up. Interacting with his family isn’t your job. And if you make it your job, do so voluntarily. [/quote]

And lots of us have refused to have this dumped on us. Then the inlaws get angry. It's a vicious cycle that starts with a son who doesn't want to talk with his parents. [/quote]

Then you aren’t “managing” your principal relationship very well, are you?[/quote]

NP.  You said that the women are volunteering for the work and in doing so creating their own problems, then she explained that the husband is creating the problem on his end by the way he interacts with his parents, then you said that that is her fault because she should be controlling her husband's relationship with his own parents to begin with ... all in the context of complaining that women are creating problems by being unnecessarily controlling.  You are bad a logic but very good at misogyny.[/quote]

Haha yup. Good summary there [/quote]

NP. +1.[/quote]
