Random question: Are you close to your FMIL? Do you call her and talk to her like you would your own mother etc? I love my FMIL but I literally don't talk to her unless I see her (on holidays). She doesn't call the house phone, she calls FH's cell so I dont get a chance to throw in the occasional hello.
My FH said something to me last night asking me why I never call her and saying that she loves to hear from me.... but I have nothing to say to her. My FH talks to my mom all the time but we live close to them and see them alot... but now he made me feel bad. lol.

Re: How often do you speak to your FMIL?
im the same. .. very rarely does she call my cell or I call her, and she calls FH on his cell. We do try to visit her like once or twice a month so I see her. And I do email her to see what she is doing.

Re: How often do you speak to your FMIL?
I speak with her a few times a week.. she's great! So helpful and loving.. but not overbearing at all. I actually speak with her sometimes more than FH bc she knows she can always get in touch with me.

Re: How often do you speak to your FMIL?
My FMIL doesn't really do the email thing so I will talk to her when we go over there or whenever she calls the house.. We usually do dinner at their house on Sundays and she will call once or twice during the week.. If I answer I will talk to her. If I don't answer she will tell FH to tell me hi and vice versa..

Re: How often do you speak to your FMIL?
I speak to my FMIL about once or twice a week. I call her every now and then to say hi and to tell her about the wedding planning. She likes to be involved since FH sister lives in GA and really wasnt involved in her wedding. We also email each other every now and then.

I definitely don't call my FMIL to chat as I would my Mom. However she and I talk quite frequently. The family has dinner together at least once a week. She and I can talk about anything.

I love my FMIL!! I talk to her probably twice a week on the phone. She's so nice and sweet. I'm so thankful for her as well, because my ex (we dated for 8 years) had a PSYCHO terrible mom and I never wanted her as my FMIL!!! LOL!

We live upstairs from her so sometimes everyday, sometimes every other day, sometimes once a week. Depends on what's going on.
ETS: I think I'm lucky with her though. I've heard horror stories of crazy or mean FIL's. I'm so glad I'm not in that situation!

I'm kinda the same way with my FMIL, she calls FHs cell and we speak when we go to visit. When I was planning a surprise party for FH we spoke almost every day. Its not like things aren't weird between us though, we just have busy lives I guess.

Re: How often do you speak to your FMIL?
Well she is our next door neighbor.
I talk to her almost every day, I dont pick up the phone and call her though.
FH and my Mom talk on the phone regularly, they call each other to say Hi! Weirdos

A zillion times a day. We text a lot and since wedding planning started, almost daily because I am always having to get her help. Before wedding, a couple of times a week. We are close though. I have known her since I was 16 so she is like a second mother. (But she can also drive me as crazy as my own mother drives me! :) )

My FH loves his mother dearly so i try to be close to her too, she is great but i never went out of my way to talk to her before the wedding plans started. I call her to give her updates so she feels involved and I will invite her to see the dress when I finally pick one out!

Re: How often do you speak to your FMIL?
Never ever ever-only when we see her on the holidays. She is one strange women. She never said congrats on our engagement and she showed up at our engagement party, got drunk and didn't give us a gift. I wish I had a great FMIL especially because I am not close with my mom. But I can't make he into someone she is not.
