We live in three different states, but the moms have kind of become friends and talk on the phone weekly-ish and email. I'm guessing they'll do it even more once a baby arrives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-332751 Wed, 10 Oct 2012 01:24:54 +0000 anonysquire 332751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, my parents try and keep drama out of their lives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-332692 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 22:49:34 +0000 Meridian 332692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, no communication whatsoever. They live 30 mins apart, but don't speak the same language and don't have anything in common. DH and I have been together for 7 yrs, and I think they have met 3 times. Kinda sad, but it is what it is... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-332380 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 18:15:46 +0000 CATWOMAN 332380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our mothers are quite close, which is a nice surprise. They couldn't be any more different from each other! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-332269 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 16:39:23 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 332269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes totally! They were all friends before we got married and they are very into each other. We all live within a 15mile radius! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-332251 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 16:21:01 +0000 Arden 332251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh... they are polite, but that's about it. They knew each other before we got married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-332242 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 16:14:34 +0000 PurplePumps 332242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, they've only met twice and dont really know each other since they live in different states, and just dont have the change to get to know each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-332233 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 16:08:35 +0000 DigAPony 332233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They send the cursory Christmas card, but they don't really know each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-332179 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:46:26 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 332179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rachel: Nope! But we have been together for so long that they kept meeting (ie we started dating before we were old enough to drive... haha a long time ago!!). Now we live a few hours away from them all, and they still live within 5 mins of eachother. They will all come visit us together, or we can all get together as a group when we go back to visit. Its really great/easy. Our siblings all get along too!<br /> We go on an annual summer trip with my DHs parents and sister and brother, BILs wife and her dad, and my mom and step dad! Its a huge crazy fun group! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-332110 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:22:54 +0000 Shutterbug 332110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@adnama: ha that's so cute! Did they know each other before you and DH met? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-332059 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:06:45 +0000 chopsuey 332059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! They've only met once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-332054 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:05:03 +0000 HLK208 332054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I wish they were close but there is a big age gap and they have absolutely nothing in common. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-332047 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 15:02:18 +0000 Alivoo01 332047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope because they live 5+ hours apart from each other and there's a slight language barrier between them. They do inquire of each other when we see either side though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331921 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 14:21:48 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 331921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep. They are super good friends. travel to vegas together every year (just our parents.. we aren't invited!!) and they are planning a trip to italy (also told us we can't come!!) haha. its pretty great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331899 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 14:12:51 +0000 Adira 331899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! My parents will send them a Christmas card, but that's it. Hubs family is pretty social, but mine isn't, so they're perfectly happy not socializing, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331870 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 14:01:09 +0000 MamaMoose 331870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every now and then they'll call each other for something... but not often. They get along really well but they just don't have much in common other than their children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331864 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:57:10 +0000 LemonLong 331864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, I think maybe they send christmas cards and an occasional e-mail when there's big news like when we announced we were pregnant. They've only met each other twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331856 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:55:27 +0000 DillonLion 331856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. Only when we are all together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331853 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:54:17 +0000 mrsjyw 331853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom sends bday cards/gifts via me; and we'll get together for an occasional dinner or two every once in a while when we (dh and i ) feel up for it~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331848 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:50:54 +0000 MediaNaranja 331848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Too much distance and a language barrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331813 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:31:28 +0000 oahujeni 331813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, even though they live about 2 miles from each other. They just don't have a lot in common, and it doesn't help that I have a terrible (well, more like nonexistent right now) relationship with my parents so it's a little awkward for my in-laws. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331793 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:22:12 +0000 blackbird 331793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>facebook and birthday/christmas cards, that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331789 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:18:25 +0000 mediagirl 331789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They don't have anything in common with each other so, no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331785 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:17:42 +0000 mrs. bird 331785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ILs call my parents on their birthdays, holidays &amp; the like. FIL will FB msg my dad for things sometimes. neither my mother nor MIL use FB. they live five minutes apart though, so we all get together for cookouts and some holidays, so they see each other then. they wouldn't see each other on their own though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331784 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:16:22 +0000 heffalump 331784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If there's big news they'll call each other. But we all live in the same town so they'll usually see each other about once a month. We all like to go to things like an event they have once a month down town, things at our temple, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331783 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:16:08 +0000 oliviaoblivia 331783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents visit my FIL whenever they come to visit us. They've tried to visit MIL, but she always cancels. They are FB friends with my older SILs and my mom chats with them regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-stay-in-touch-with-your-in-laws#post-331772 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:13:33 +0000 autumnlove 331772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents and my FIL exchange letters about once a month. My parents prefer to send emails but my FIL isn't a tech savvy guy!</p> <p>Do your parents stay in touch with your in-laws? </p>
