[quote=Anonymous]My IL's are similar. They didn't call my DH (their own son!) 5 years in a row on his birthday. Our kids are so sweet to them despite them having very little interest in them as people. They are just kind of...checked out and more invested in other people and things. Instead of being upset or offended, we have adopted a "take what they can give" perspective. Our kids are awesome and it's their loss that they don't make the effort. We try to enjoy phone calls or visits (once and year at most) and leave it at that! DH, our kids and I are a really happy family with lots of friends and family members who do love and reciprocate--I'm grateful for that. [/quote]
