I talk to them maybe once a month. My sis-in-law- told me she wants me to call her on my own and more often--but although I don't mind talking to them--its still very weird and akward at times and would rather talk to them when hubby talks to them--once a month is fine by me! They're really great people--I just don't enjoy talking on the phone. B)

I honestly wish I could speak Turkish so to be able to speak with my mother-in-law, I only learned very little and some basic words, but not enough to carry on a real conversation :(

Funny thing is that we both get along great and I had spent many times alone with her (while hubby was at work) whenever I visited her in Turkey and the only way we communicated was by showing of hands and pointing to things :blush:

I speak with mine, 2+ times a month. Funny thing mines wants me to call on my own as well, but I haven't at this point, because I'm very busy and I'm home when we are calling. Most of the time I stay on the phone longer than my husband and he is just enjoying that I'm talking with his family. Sometimes repeating myself several times :D. They say Americans talk with an Accent and we talk through our nose... :whistle:

My mother in law is pretty goos at phoning me... like 2 or 3 times a week...

Like I do not have a all lot of times some times i have to ignore her call...

Then if i ignore the call she left a message like you never pick up your phone...

She likes to talk on the phone a all lot and i do not always have all the times in my hands...

I talk with one of my sister in law once a week as we are really closed.

As my husband family do not live for from us we got to see them a all lot to... at weekend to.

My husband has not been able to get a hold of his brother in over a year. We talked a little by e-mail before that, but not since then. His mother and uncle don't speak any english (or write/read), so I pretty much never communicate with them. I have talked a few times on the phone with mom over the last 2 years, but she spoke Igbo, and I spoke English. It was just nice to hear each other's voices. My husband only speaks to them once a month or so. He speaks to his friends and people who are looking out for them more often (once very week or two) and I often say a few hi's to them. I really wish my inlaws spoke English or that I spoke more Igbo (more than 3-5 words) so that I could talk to them. Oh, well. Maybe someday.
