i have a unique situation:
My mother in law lives near seattle, the other side of the continent. We love her.
My family lives 20 minutes away, and we havent spoken to them in over a year. I just told them to stop calling and emailing us, basically because they lived 20 minutes away and wouldnt get off their asses and visit. (we had a baby and they couldnt be bothered to travel 20 minutes in the opposite direction of where all the shopping is....)
Well, that and they told me my daughter wasnt important enough to justify the drive, and never would be as special as my niece.
So yeah, in laws can sometimes be better than your own family.
