[quote=Anonymous]Wait, is your MIL calling your parents, or is your mom calling your MIL? My parents (who live a day's drive away) were not particularly fond of my ILs (who live in our area), but they were polite, and someone might have mistaken it for friendliness, I guess. But when my parents came to visit, they preferred not to see my ILs. We tried to compromise by having dinner with the ILs the first night of a visit, but then my MIL would try to figure out how we could get together again later in the visit. Eventually my spouse and I stopped telling my ILs when my parents were coming to visit, or told them about every third visit or so, and we'd get together then. It was not because my parents were jealous of my ILs, I promise, although maybe that would have been a soothing lie to tell them. My ILs meant well, but their personalities just didn't mesh well with my parents'. (Or mine. Or their son's.) [/quote]
