[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It used to be more rare to move far away from family- that is a big piece. Also, I think women used to spend more time maintaining family ties (even with ILs) than they do now. My dad had 4 brothers- my mom and the other wives planned everything, kept in close touch, and the men mostly just showed up. Most women do a lot less of this now (I know I do)- & expect the DH to take the lead with his family (and many men don’t do a great job at keeping in touch). [/quote] Agree. I've seen this play out for at least 2 generations. I have to tell my kids that if they want to keep their relationship strong, their chosen partner has to naturally get along well with the IL sibling. Otherwise, their kids will probably not be friends.[/quote]
