[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you expect more from them?  My ILs texted me their condolences when my father died.  That's it.  I didn't expect them to do anything else.

This world is so uncivil and uncaring. What in the fresh hell? A text about a parent dying is what is acceptable?  When friends have lost parents, we send flowers or food. A card at the very least. My husband has flown to funerals to show his respect (there and back in one day). All I can say is that a bunch of you are seriously low class. A text? LOL[/quote]

Maybe it's your facility with the English language, but I wouldn't call this behavior "low class."  Exactly the opposite actually---poorer people often have more connected families and are the first to sympathize with a death in the family, while richer people don't have the time and just text.   I guess they could have sent flowers I suppose--but if your relationship with your in-laws was closer, I imagine they might have said more...if you're ready to call it quits over this, it must not be a very close relationship.[/quote]
