[quote=Anonymous]This is me. OP, how are you with DIL? Do you listen and engage with her when she talks, do you ask questions and keep conversation going? My MIL is very quiet to be point of lacking social graces. I have to put in all the effort like basically a monologue and I don't have the interest or energy any more. I am actually very warm and enthusiastic with other relatives bc I am so happy someone else is there! And these other ppl do actually make conversation and it's just not hard. And like some PPs have mentioned, it's for shorter stretches of time, which is easier. With MIL I just don't know how to fill the time and the quiet -- it's very awkward.[/quote]
