No Call From In-laws

Hubby dear has gone to India to attend three weddings ( of his three friends). Its been six days since he left. I and Jahnavi are alone here in Edinburgh. I agreed on his trip only because there are two Indian families here in Edinburgh, whom I can rely on if there is any problem. But for them, I wouldn’t have found courage to live for a week in an unknown city. Edinburgh is a nice place, but a lot of untoward things can happen to you and if you don’t know anybody, it poses serious problem for your survival. Anyways, as I was saying, I allowed hubby to make this trip because we have friends here in Edinburgh to look after us in case we need anything.
Now interesting thing is that none of my in-laws have rang us to know how we are doing. No phone call! I am a little upset. My husband expects me to call my in-laws at least once a week and moreover we invariably talk to them every weekend on google talk too. My mother-in law is very particular to point out that I haven’t called them for soooo…..many days,………. have I forgotten them?
And now when its their turn to make a call, there is no sign of them.
I told my husband about my displeasure, and instead of agreeing that his parents are in the wrong, he argued that he is never home, that’s why they haven’t called. What a pathetic excuse. As if the in-laws don’t have cell phones of their own, as if they don’t know my number and as if my husband is out of home 24/7.
I don’t give a shit if my in-laws ring me or not. I am upset because I am supposed to fulfill my duty of being a responsible daughter-in law where as there is not a single effort on my in-laws’ part. They have got their son, now it doesn’t matter to them if their daughter-in law or grand-daughter are well or not.
Why do I expect so much from my in-laws? All in-laws are like that. They are only concerned with their son and that’s all. And then it is expected of the daughter-in law to become a part of the family!
