[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men as a general rule just will not make the effort. I know there are exceptions but that's what it often boils down to. My ILs live overseas and don't speak English well, but they are lovely people and I'm happy to host them in our house for extended visits whenever they want to come. However, once they go back home it's like DH forgets they even exist. I honestly have to nag him to get him to Facetime them with the kids. I would do it myself but there's the language barrier. And with my own brother, we're super close and text each other multiple times a day, but my mom has learned that it's easier to just ask me how he's doing than get him to return her phone calls.

Both my DH and my brother had good childhoods and love their moms and are also great husbands who take an active role in parenting, cleaning, and running the household (so it's not an issue of moms raising them with traditional gender norms). The whole thing just blows my mind sometimes. [/quote]

Very similar. It's mind boggling.[/quote]
