[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s funny how husbands make it wives’ responsibility to maintain relationships with their parents.[/quote]

It's funny that grown adult women ever fall for it. If my boyfriend/fiance had ever tried that crap with me, I wouldn't have married him. If my husband told me I was responsible for that stuff I would laugh in his face.[/quote]

What if he asked you nicely to pick out something for his mom?  Most men don't come out and say "you are responsible for MY family"  It is more subtle than that.[/quote]

If he asked me nicely and had a reason that he couldn't do so, I would help him out. Like if he were on a business trip the week before her birthday and asked me to arrange to send flowers and a card, I would be happy to do so. But if he was just like hey would you do this for me I'd be like no, dude, I'm just as busy as you are. And I don't buy into the whole "I don't know what to get her"--just ask her, or freaking Google "gift ideas for mom." If you don't know your mom's likes and preferences after knowing her for the 32 years you knew her before I rolled up, can't help you, buddy.[/quote]
