Re: Phoning n desis
People get like that with old age.
Its not just MILs.
Mothers just get sensitive about their kids not calling them.

Re: Phoning n desis
I agree someone should write a software to change SMS lingo to proper English.

Re: Phoning n desis
So you don’t like challenges? 
Re: Phoning n desis
not at the cost of having my eyes strained 
Re: Phoning n desis
I so agree with you. =/ My husband, as awesome as he is, gets sooo sensitive about the phone-call issue, as do his parents (who are pretty nice otherwise). I'm extremely busy as I'm a full-time student studying for MCATs, participating in research, labs, exams etc etc so it can get kind of hectic and I'm really lax about it as well...it's also just something I don't do, with anyone (talking on the phone). When my in-laws visit, it's awesome and whatnot...I literally do treat them like my own parents, and they treat me like their daughter. But I do wish they were more understanding about phone-calls/Skype etc. I really don't think it measures how much someone cares for you...you can only really gouge that when living with someone. That being said, I try to Skype with them every Sunday (their day off as well as mine), and it makes them pretty happy so...it works out.
Also, if you run out of things to talk about...I think a good timeline to call your in-laws is weekly or bi-weekly. This way you have stuff to talk about, and you're fulfilling your duty of calling them.
