[quote=Anonymous]This is just who she is. She's not proactive about initiating contact, she's not into the minutiae of kids' lives, etc. It has nothing to do with how much she loves your kids. It has entirely to do with you comparing her with your own parents, who have different personalities and with whom you have a different dynamic. You could have the opposite problem -- she might be overly involved, want to see your kids all the time even when it's inconvenient, etc. So accept the silver lining that she's not expecting a lot of work from you, send her photos and updates and so forth however frequently works for you, and let go of your expectations. Don't take it personally. [/quote]
