Hardly ever, but it's because she speaks German and my German is, well, it's beginner! She texts me and I have to call her back, I can understand what she writes, but I can't manage to write more than a "ja" or "nein."
We "speak" in person, though.
-
Hmm, We try and see our inlaws once every two weeks (especially since my FIL has cancer) but we barely talk on the phone.
I know the hubs talks to them regularly on the phone.
-
Both of our parents live 20 minutes away, so we try to get togetehr individually or altogether at least a couple of times a month.
In the weeks that we don't see them, I try to call her at least once a week to catch up and see how they're doing... DH calls them at least once a week... and tries to call my mom a couple times a month as well.
-
we email occasionally, but rarely call/text--i really only talk to her when we're visiting though. we used to live about 10 mins away and then we saw them at least 1/week. i have a good relationship with mil, i just don't talk to her often, she mostly keeps in touch with dh. dh and my dad email a LOT though, it's really pretty adorable. i should maybe make more of an effort
-
I've never talked to her on the phone and I only occasionally talk via email. She sporadically talks to her son via email and calls every once in awhile (usually at 10pm...so annoying).
-
My MIL comes over 2-3 times a week to cook for us and visit my son. She LOVES cooking for us so I let her have her way in the kitchen while she's here...TOTALLY fine with me!
I love my MIL (as much as you can love a MIL i guess). I think it's because she doesn't have any daughters and i'm the closest to one that she has. She's actually pretty wonderful. I guess i'm in the minority thinking their MIL is wonderful. LOL!
-
As little as possible! Haha!
-
We each call our parents weekly at this point, have the phone on speaker and the other one chimes in occasionally.
I love my MIL, and wish that we didn't live across the country from them. We talk on our own every week to two weeks and text on and off throughout. Probably will be a whole lot more once the boy comes along too. I talk to my own mom less, mostly because she isn't into the phone as much as MIL.
Our own parents drive us crazy a whole lot faster than our IL's do- my husband and I try to run interference for each other when around our families for extended periods of time to save sanity.
-
My MIL calls me at least twice a week. I wouldn't mind except the conversations typically last for over an hour and I'm not a phone person! I barely do any of the talking. I can only imagine how much more she will call once our baby arrives.
-
Very rarely. She texts me every now and then but has cut back since I never respond. She is very "you are like a real daughter to me, I love you so much" and I am very "arm's distance please, we are in-laws and I have a mother of my own". Don't get me wrong, she is a very very sweet lady but our personalities are complete opposites. Thankfully, after 6 years of marriage Rob Sr. has learned how to mitigate and things aren't too bad, as long as I'm not around her alone, and our visits with her aren't longer than a few days. I've also finally gotten used to her personality and quirks, so I don't get mad or frustrated at her that much anymore.
-
I try and avoid talking to her, because she only talks to me when she has something else to criticize me about. Or when she needs to complain about how I am stealing my fiance from her.
-
I'm glad to see most other DIL's are like me! I talk to my MIL on the phone maybe once every two or three months? Usually if there is something I need to talk to her about.
-
Almost never. I don't even have her cell number. I maybe get an email once a month.
-
Probably about once or twice a week. She was definitely a MIL-zilla during our engagement but has mellowed out since we got married. Whew...
