MIL just called me to ask if H was ok....kinda freaked me out thinking that something was wrong, but apparently he just hasn't called her in a while and she was worried.
H is very busy and barely answers the phone during the day since he's working, and then after work he's either doing work around the house, or he's resting...so yes, its not often that he's like "oh better call my mom to say hi!"
I guess it's different for H than me, I'm on FB all day (at work oops) so its easy to talk to my Mom all the time, plus when I'm bored or have something fun to share, I'll call my Mom to say hi. H is barely ever on FB, let alone ever "chatting/messaging" on FB...
I told MIL that I'd talk to H about it and remind him to call her every so often...but really, it seems silly to me that she's so upset about him not calling her....I guess I can see her point that she just wants to talk and make sure he's ok, but its not like he's sitting around doing nothing and not calling on purpose...plus she knows how busy he can be, especially in the summer with work, so it seems like she should be more understanding.
I told her that we'd come see her tonight (she lives nearby) so hopefully this will keep her happy...for now!

Re: Oh MIL....
Does she never call him? I think it's kind of silly when moms get upset that their sons don't call. I mean they are guys and they don't have that type of bond with their moms like us girls do. Plus if your H is anything like mine he really doesn't talk on the phone much and when he's not working he is resting and tired from doing physical labor at work.
I feel for your H. MIL used to be like that before she moved in with us and even when we lived with her if for some reason once a week he didn't spend the whole day with her she would throw a fit.
She doesn't really call him either...which is why I don't get it. She texted him the other day to say that she "doesn't feel appreciated..." ugh, seriously?!?
We went by her house last night, she seemed happy to see us. I'm going to try to remind H (even though it seems silly to me) to call him mom every once in a while.
I guess thats all I can do for now so make MIL happy...
