[quote=Anonymous]Both, but we live far away, so it is different. She generally contacts us both, and I make sure he is (we are) responsive to things, and also chime in on my own because I genuinely think my MIL is pretty great. I encourage contact, tell him to call, ask him if he did the thank you notes that his family (but not mine) expects. But I don't actually step in and do it for him. Except sometimes for my MIL, because she is wonderful and we have our own relationtioosip. I have him handle some things, even though they are not how I would handle. Christmas gifts are almost embarrassing to give, but I just cannot step in and take this on. I'm not much better than him in this area, the only reason I am "better" is because I've been more socialized to feel guilty for not finding material gift-giving important, despite loving my family quite a bit.[/quote]
