[quote=Anonymous]My in-laws are like this. They say that they are trying to be polite and "not intrude" on our time. I think that's really just half the story. I think they like a lot of attention and want to talk for hours (like 2+ hours) each time we have an interaction. My FIL is the ranting type. We never ever have that much time to talk with little ones running around and I think they take it as a sign that they called at a bad time if we have to get off the phone after 45 minutes. The truth is that if they would just be willing to check in and talk for a bit and then move on (say 15-30 mins a couple times a week) then they would probably feel like the spoke to us more. Sadly we avoid talking to them now because every time we pick up the phone it turns into an event. [/quote]
