you don't get on with her then kylie.ask your husband to tell her if she doesn't want to talk to you then ring the phone for two rings put it down and then ring again.then she will not have to talk to you and you don't have to get mad.failing that get an answer phone so she can leave a message.love and hugsxxxx(:

I suppose i am really lucky, i get on really well with daves family, very close to his mum and dad, they sort of see me as another one of their kids i think!!!!! also get on very well with the rest of his family too! i know my mum had an awful time with my dads family, they were so nasty to her...but they are a load of di***s anyway, i dont talk to them, also had a cr*p time with my stepdads family, we dont talk to them anymore either!! xxx

It's strange you saying this today, my daughter e mailed earlier. Her boyfriend has moaned at her for not making an effort with his family. I was a bit put out when she asked what I thought, he doesn't make much effort with us really. He comes here lounges around the chairs, blows off frequently stinking the room out and plays on my sons gamecube at any opportunity. She gets on ok with his mum, the sisters have both been off with her at various times, she has been really generous with them too. What is she supposed to do. I know from my in laws you can't have a one way street it doesn't work. Diane

i agree with elaine and that you should just pick up the phone and say nothing, then when she does spak, say 'oh i almost forgot what you sound like, you always hang up on me!!!'

I'd blow the whistle too. My mother in law never wnated to speak to me. Sometimes she's just say can I talk to the other half and not even say hello. I put up with that sort of thing for 20 years. When father in law died, she was on the phone all the time wanting to talk to me. I wouldn't have minded so much but she had two daughter of her own on the doorstep. I used to spend absolute ages listening to her going on. Wish I had been more assertive and said what I thought a couple of times instead of taking all the cr*p. She died herself 18 months after the father in law. Left a lot of bitterness nothing was resloved. Dianex

Blow the whistle or just pick it up & say nothing, let her pay for the call. Ps every time you pick up the phone to her it costs her. E x
