Your MIL is your second choice for help since your own parents are are not coming for your delivery.
If your MIL says no then there you will not like it, but you are quite content with your own moms refusal!
Your MILs only fault at present is that she does not call up your parents regularly. Is it such a big issue ? Why should all PILs and Parents keep on chatting all the time ? Do not create turbulence where there is none. Do not paint the lady black just because of this, or are you trying to find fault somehow?
Do make your pregnancy an excuse to make mountains out of molehills. Enjoy and be happy!!

Everyone's advice makes sense.She doesnt seem to be a phone person at all.
I really want you to tell me if you think a little of the not calling is because she has an ego about being the boys mother.
My mind hasnt rested much and I am still thinking that its a combination of both.
What do you think?
I wish my mum had not put all this in my head at such a time.
Thanks,
Sandhya

Exactly! You are giving undue importance to nothing! Maybe your mom does not know how upset you are!!
Another major issue that crops up is the ladkewala issue- I dont think its like that. Your MIL is not ladkewala for you.Do you have a brother ? Will your mom feel that way ? Suppose you have a boy then will expect special treatment ?
You are happily married and going to have a baby soon , why are you trying to make a chance comment into a global issue ? If your MIL is nice to you then your mom should be happy . Dont try to fight for your mom, you cannot force your MIL to talk to her, but you will definitely spoil your relations with DH because your MIL is his mom!
Too much of chitchat between parents can lead to a lot of problems too , cordial relations are fine.

Yes even I feel you are just confusing yourself for nothing. All these are part and parcel of life. It is very obvious that you are making a mountain out of a mole. Enjoy your pregnancy Girl...(and blame it on the hormones :D)

In my case it is vice versa. my parents do not talk or attend to any of my hubbys relatives. My family was not in good terms with my inlaws intially but gradually as years went by , it became ok for me. but for my parents it is still not. I tried explaingin to my parents but in vain.
