Don't plan on it either lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws/page/2#post-2111016 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 00:13:33 +0000 youboots 2111016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before the babe was born we talked at least once a day. Just to chit chat. Once I get accustomed to having a newborn I expect we will chat often again. Sadly someone in their house has been ill since she came, so she has not seen our girl in 12 days :( we text and she uses emojis which cracks me up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws/page/2#post-2111013 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 00:03:49 +0000 NurseDMB 2111013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. DH talks to her on the phone almost everyday, though. Conversations with her over the phone are at least 30 min long. No thank you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws/page/2#post-2018808 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 22:11:28 +0000 irene 2018808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NEVER.</p> <p>FIL and I are nemesis and must have been nemesis for the past thousands of years in our previous lives. In fact, I run as fast as I can whenever they call. I never show my face on Facetime when they call.</p> <p>If he ever dies (I know it sounds horrible but that's true), I may start calling my MIL though. She is great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws/page/2#post-2018650 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 19:49:05 +0000 MrsH 2018650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh, no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws/page/2#post-2018618 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 19:29:09 +0000 ShootingStar 2018618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws/page/2#post-2018617 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 19:29:01 +0000 Reese 2018617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She wouldn't know how to text. Most calls go through DH/ he will pass the phone and I will make small chat. Our relationship is quite strained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws/page/2#post-2018495 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 16:47:10 +0000 cait 2018495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've sent pics of LO on special occasions, but all other communication goes through DH. He doesn't really contact my family either unless it's a happy birthday text, or sometimes my brothers because they hang out once in a while. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws/page/2#post-2018439 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 15:49:37 +0000 lavender 2018439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We text all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws/page/2#post-2018434 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 15:46:26 +0000 DesertDreams88 2018434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Emergencies and emails, basically. No kids yet, so no grandbabies to talk about or anything. Close relationships, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2018038 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 07:51:40 +0000 cookiemomster 2018038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I text with my mil quite a bit- maybe not daily but close. I rarely call just because I hate talking on the phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2018034 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 07:43:59 +0000 Tanjowen 2018034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to make a point to call my MIL at least twice a week to catch her up on LO and our lives since we are several states apart. We are friendly but not close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2018030 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 07:27:14 +0000 Mae 2018030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I text my MIL photos and videos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017969 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 03:29:51 +0000 snickers 2017969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I call/text MIL quite a bit and often take DS into her work for a visit if im in the area.</p> <p>Today is FIL's birthday and my husband is at a bachelor party but DS and I still went to my IL's house for dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017934 Sat, 10 Jan 2015 01:26:58 +0000 littleblessings 2017934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not married yet but my soon to be mother and father in law I don't txt or call. Kinda refuse too. They started up drama in the past that I can't get over. However my fiancés grandma is an entirely different story! I love her to death! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017884 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 23:37:18 +0000 Hope 2017884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MIL and I text frequently, call rarely (mostly because DH's phone is dead lol). They only live a few miles away though so we see them at least once a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017869 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 23:23:24 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2017869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes. they live 2 blocks away so I see them often. we text a couple times a week (and see them that much, too). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017839 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:43:00 +0000 DillonLion 2017839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MIL and I text, but we're very friendly and close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017829 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:36:38 +0000 simplyfelicity 2017829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here and there but not much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017797 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:16:45 +0000 Ginabean3 2017797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We text back and forth regularly and occasionally FaceTime with LO as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017793 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 22:15:04 +0000 Astro Bee 2017793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MIL just got an iPad from us for Christmas. I've been showing her how it works. I have an iPhone, so we've been iMessaging. She doesn't have a cell so no traditional texting before this. We do talk to each other every couple of weeks on the phone. Same with FIL. DH talks to them more frequently. I also take to his parents more frequently than he talks to mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017314 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 16:16:00 +0000 Charm54 2017314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best friend (since second grade ) is my SIL so we text all the time. I text my MIL pics of dd every now and then </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017308 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 16:12:53 +0000 Andrea 2017308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we email. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017291 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 16:00:40 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2017291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I text mil pics sometimes. We FaceTime the inlaws once a week or so all together though. And last night they facetimed when DH wasnt home and I answered. Best DIL ever ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017238 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 15:38:37 +0000 avivoca 2017238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Every time I call they think something is wrong with my husband, so I stopped calling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017219 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 15:29:49 +0000 Synchronicity 2017219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have on occasion, but only to relay a message that I didn't trust DH to pass on in time. I talk to DH's siblings on a pretty regular basis, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-text-or-call-your-in-laws#post-2017213 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 15:27:33 +0000 .twist. 2017213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.
