Just trying to get a feel for peoples' relationships with in-laws, and how often you guys talk in the phone!
-
She was in town so I saw her, but if she hadn't been I would not have called her. She isn't my mom! I also wouldn't expect DH to call my mom.
ETA: I probably would've emailed her with a pic of LO.
-
DH and I called her together. We both talked to her. I'm really close to her so there's no way I wouldn't call.
-
I think DH called her and I spoke to her as well. She sent me a gift, and DH and his brothers took care of sending hers.
-
Oh, but in general, she calls us to catch up-- more often she will just call me since DH is the worst at returning phone calls.
-
DH saw her. She and I exchanged Happy Mother's Day via text. I went and saw my mom.
-
I didn't talk to her but I texted her.
-
I texted her but did not call her. My husband didn't talk to my mom at all.
-
DH and i called together and all talked on speaker. We're not very close but there's no way I wouldn't talk to her on mother's day. It's just a matter of who calls first on holidays.
-
I voted incorrectly.
Neither of us spoke to her on Mother's Day, though she did send me a text & I wished her a happy Mother's Day as well.
-
I'm really close to my in-laws. They live in Japan but DH and I get up early once a week to skype with them. While due to the time difference we couldn't skype on mothers day we were able to skype the Saturday before
-
I talked to her on Facebook. We talk on Facebook most days. It's hard to get on the phone because of time zones and schedules and I did get her a present.
-
We facetimed her together!
-
DH saw her while I was at the spa with my mom. So I didn't talk to her, but he gave her a card from both of us and I wrote on her FB wall.
-
Texted her.
-
We saw both moms this year, but if not my SO would have called and wished her a happy mothers day from us both. I would have done the same for my mom.
-
We went over to their house and brought a card and chocolates. I'm super close with her and consider her a mother to me. My mom lives 8 hours away so I called her but spent part of the day with mil.
-
We spent this year's Mother's Day with both moms. We are almost always with MIL for Mother's Day, but my mom is long distance so I call her. My DH doesn't talk to her when I call. If we weren't with my MIL, my DH would call her and I wouldn't talk to her on the phone. Both my husband and I hate talking on the phone, so that influences my response too!
-
I voted other because my DH called her, but I didn't talk to her. I send her a Facebook message since she is way better at Facebook than returning text messages (I really don't understand this logic, she never responds to my texts but always responds on Facebook).
-
We sent her flowers but I did not talk to her.
-
My husband and I called together. However, I don't usually call her when I'm bored.
She's nice and doesn't get into our business but I can't talk to my MIL for long periods. She asks or comments on the weirdest things. Today she was asking why I haven't potty trained my youngest who is 25 months old b/c I told her I was on my way out to buy diapers. I told her b/c he hasn't shown interest. And then she kept on asking why? Had I not been in a hurry should could have talked to me about that for 30 minutes. 
No ill will on her part b/c she's just very talkative.
-
My MIL lives really far away. We called her on mother's day. Actually I reminded DH to call her.
-
We saw her, but if we didn't, we would have facetimed her together.
-
I emailed - she knows I don't do the phone!
-
I sent her a card of LO from all of us and I think that was it. Ive texted her in the past.
-
i didn't talk to her. she lives OOT
-
We always call MIL and my mom on Mother's day. My mom lives 7hrs away. MIL is currently local but for two years she was 20+hrs away.
-
DH called his mom and I called mine. We didn't talk to the others mom. I bought the card we sent her. Both of our moms are out of town.
-
I called her!
-
They live nearby so I saw both my mom and mil, but if I didn't, we would definitely call on the phone. We're not very close, but I'd still make a point to call her.
-
My MIL died before I met her. I'm guessing that I wouldn't have phoned because I wouldn't phone FIL on Father's Day, but who knows? Maybe we would have been best buds.
-
Today is Mother's Day in France and I have no plans to call my MIL.
-
Not very. But I Facebook message with my mil almost daily, and see them a few times a week.
-
I didn't call her or anything. DH did though.
-
My answer is other: I never once in my life called my in-laws (since we dated, which was 15+ years ago). I did send my MIL flowers for a couple of years, but I stopped. DH seldom calls them, and definitely not on mothers/fathers day. But if they happened to call, I'd talk to my MIL. this year I did wish her happy mothers day because she happened to call and my FIL is not around.
My FIL is my nemesis, but my MIL is a sweetheart. I bet if my FIL is a different person I'd probably talk to her a lot more than now.
-
I would make DH call her and I would sign a card I would force DH to buy
Since we live so close we saw her and I made her a shutterfly card.
-
DH visited her with DD (I was working). I texted her.
-
I would have made DH at least call her, if she was still around.
-
Only have a SMIL and I texted her a pic of R and mailed a card. DH didn't call her but he never calls her.
-
She is local, so we saw her. But, if she wasn't he would have called her and I would have maybe said hello in the background, similar to what he does when he calls his grandma since she isn't local.
She's nice and doesn't get into our business but I can't talk to my MIL for long periods. She asks or comments on the weirdest things.
