[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ILs who live away from us have called my DH maybe 8 times or so since pandemic (March).   They have no real interaction with my DS.  No interest.  Their phone calls are full of what their daughter and granddaughter are doing.   My parents have never favored a grandchild.  Hard to watch.   DS doesn't notice or comment.    It makes me mad if I think about it, but I try not to.   The one good thing about this pandemic is no visits from them hopefully for many more months.    [/quote]

You seem to be looking to be offended.  I have a sister - my calls with our parents are all about her and her kids, her calls with our parents are all about me and my kids.  I think our parents just don't have much else to share, life is boring right now, but they love the stories about both of our kids and thats what they enjoy sharing.

They have called me zero times during the pandemic.  ZERO!  Their reason for it is that i'm busy with work and kids and so its easier for me to call them when i'm free than for them to call me and stress me out.  not perfect logici but its also not malicious.

I bet if your husband called his parents more and shared more details about the kids, your inlaws would be relaying all these stories to his sister.[/quote]
