[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of middle ground between super-close and completely cut off. DH and I have a good relationship with both sets of parents, but we’ve had some instances where we needed to establish boundaries with both sides. MIL still whines and complains that DH and I do not call her every day, but we’ve told her point blank that we are both busy working adults with two small children, so she’ll need to content herself with one call a week unless there’s an emergency or something. She hasn’t made peace with that, but oh well. She’d probably get more calls if she wasn’t such a PITA. We’ve never cut off our parents and probably never would, but yes, we don’t take guilt trips or crap from them, and definitely never will.[/quote] You’re an ass. But I guess you know that. I work (main breadwinner) and have DCs. Yet somehow I manage to call my mom every day. I hope my DCs don’t turn out like you. Awful human being.[/quote]
