[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do your mom and dad include DH on their texts to you? Assuming not, why would you expect your MIL to include you on texts to her son? I have both sons and daughters and would find it very bizarre if either of their spouses felt I couldn’t coordinate plans or share a thank you with my child without it somehow being an insult to them or an exchange needing their supervision.

Because in general jf you know someone else went in on a gift and helped pick it out or took vacation time or time out of their busy life to visit you that should be acknowledged and thank especially for a family member like a DIL.

If I got a wedding gift or a birthday gift from a couple and I knew it was from both of them I wouldn't thank just one I would be sure to thank both members of the couple. Same if both people in a couple took time out to visit me. I wouldn't just tell one it was great seeing them because by not saying or acknowledging it was good to see the other one what is that implying.

If I was visiting my in laws and I got home either I would text my MIL and say that it was great seeing her and my FIL or I would add them both in the text. I wouldn't just text my MIL and say it was great to see her and ignore her husband.
