[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let your spouse and kids participate and you can drift off and do something else as you had other plans.

Or a petty POS.  Grow up, op.  “These people” are your kids family.  Set an example as an adult.[/quote]

So what? “These people” sound very self absorbed. Not everyone wants to hear about every little thing your kid does. Also, they don’t ever inquire about op’s life. How self absorbed and rude. I would avoid the call with them also op. Yuck![/quote]

Np. Maybe those parents were raised not to ask personal questions so as to not cross boundaries?  I hardly ask questions because if i was supposed to know they would tell me.    [/quote]

DP, I’m the same. I had no idea not asking personal questions could be considered rude to some. I will ask how my ILs and my extended family are doing, but I would wait for them to bring up anything specific if they want to do that. I never try to ask anything too personal especially with my ILs, I would find that to be rude.[/quote]

No, pp was implying that some families only talk about their own family members from their family of origin and do not ask one thing about dil or sil families. When dil or sil make comments about their own family of origin, there is no response. Just deer in headlights look. I can’t stand self absorbed families like these. They can’t see further than their own family of origin and are not interested in anyone else. So gross, self absorbed and boring.[/quote]
