[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to send gifts and cards and framed pictures of the kids until MIL had a screaming match at me and accused me of not letting her see the kids. That's when I stopped everything and told husband it was all on him now. They haven't received a thing because he doesn't think ahead and is extremely lazy. We don't see them hardly at all anymore either.

I have told all of them, if they want a relationship with their son great then they can all figure it out. For example if you fil wants to go to lunch with husband, great. Call him, text him or email him. I'm out. But they still blame me and I truly don't get it. "He's your son, call him , go to lunch and yes he needs to call you too. "

I don't blame you for your reaction, pp. I've basically done the same thing except I still remind DH about Mother's Day and his parents' birthdays. He picks up the phone and calls them and orders flowers for his mom and me at the same time. I don't send presents to my family either since we'd rather go out for a meal instead of adding to our belongings. I do send graduation cards and checks to nephews and nieces on both sides and will also do the same for weddings, despite any strained feelings with their parents. That's what I feel comfortable doing. [/quote]
