[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you are the primary one to send pictures etc, but then get upset when she asks you about Facetime. ... sounds about DCUM[/quote] I send pictures to my mom and sister, so it’s literally no extra effort to send them to MIL at the same time, and there’s nothing I don’t like about that particular form of interaction—she sends back a “thanks” or a heart emoji or something positive. I actively dislike FaceTiming with his family, because they expect long calls with captive-audience young kids. They also talk over each other, don’t allow anyone else to speak, and wheedle and whine when we say it’s time to go. So that is an interaction I don’t enjoy with her, and therefore don’t go out of my way to facilitate when her son is perfectly capable. Short and sweet, easy, positive interaction = I’m willing to do that for her. Long and loud, difficult and whiny interaction = I’m not willing to do that for her. See the difference? [/quote]
