[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exact same situation here.  DH is on a nine month deployment and in-laws live across the country.  We are happy to FaceTime with them whenever they call but I do not initiate any calls.

It is what it is.  [/quote]

I think that’s weird and unfriendly.[/quote]
I vote you get a pass to be “weird and unfriendly” when your husband is deployed if that makes your life easier. Explain to me again why the onus is on the busy wife/mother? [/quote]

+2. The PP who wrote that it was weird and unfriendly has never had a spouse deployed for months at a time.  This is not "My husband travels for work" - this is month after month after month of a husband who is in a different time zone and generally a war zone - who is not coming home on the weekend.  You have to deal with everything plus the feelings of your kids as well as managing your own loss and fear.  [/quote]

I’m the “weird and unfriendly” PP. My husband has done three year-long tours in conflict zones. I’m still able to manage a relationship with his parents.[/quote]
