[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this were my IL's, I'd appear for the start of the call if I was free, and then I'd just get up and start doing other stuff. I don't understand why you think you have to be there the whole time? [/quote]

That’s what my sister-in-law does every call. It is obvious she could give a crap about us. It doesn’t go unnoticed.[/quote]

My ILs are marathon phone/FaceTime talkers. I'm not; my family does quick chats frequently; my husband's parents want to FT for at least an hour. Neither way is "wrong." I chat for a few minutes, then move on, and pop in and out here or there. I don't resent them tying up my husband for an hour, and hopefully they don't resent that I just don't like marathons. If that is perceived as "not giving a crap," oh well. I'm not bothered. I am always kind, polite, and thoughtful with them. If they choose to view my lack of conformity as not caring, that is out of my control.

What the hell do they talk about for an hour & looking at each other? My parents would think I was crazy if I wanted to keep them on the phone (especially facetime) that long.  :lol: [/quote]
