I really wanted him to be mine, but I think he''d get stage fright. He also won''t stand to be picked up, and I''m sure a leash would be out of the question ... If you wouldn''t mind a little fence along the sides of the aisle, and me chasing him up it, then sure, he could be your ring bearer

My in-laws have never reached out to me in any way. And we lived in the same neighborhood the whole time DH and I were dating (4 and a half years). They would ignore me when I went to say hello to them or to see how they were - apparently I was stealing "their baby"
So I guess the answer is no

I guess I meant more if you had a decent relationship with your ILs before you got engaged.
I mean we never speak on the phone or anything (they live in another state) but I always felt like we had a good relationship when we went out to visit them. I guess I sort of expected for FI''s mom to try to call me or ask to speak with me when she was on the phone with FI, but nothing... In fact, she spoke with FI the other day and asked him if we were still engaged

Is she introverted or shy? Maybe she just didn''t feel comfortable jumping onto the phone with you or something. I don''t know that DH has ever talked to my parents over the phone, but my mom looooves him, so it doesn''t have anything to do with their relationship.

Ugh! I hate that whole 'stealing their baby' thing.
They ignored you!?
Yep - I saw them every week in synagogue and I would go over to say hello or I would smile and wave and they literally ignored me. When I went to his house I would try and talk to his mom and I would ask her how work was, how her family was, etc and she would give one-word answers (if I was lucky) and she would read a magazine while I tried to talk to her. Eventually I gave up and we sat in silence until DH came back in the room.
Just last week I found out I got into a really competitive grad school program and his parents found out at the beginning of the week and I still have yet to hear from them. They called my husband and told him they were insulted that I hadn't called them because apparently they can call me when they want to find out where DH is but they can't call me to say something nice to me. I'm supposed to call them to get a "congratulations"
They were also mad at us for not calling them on our anniversary because they wanted to wish us happy 1st anniversary. It's our fault they weren't able to because we didn't call THEM.

as Elro said, she could be very shy...but still...strange question to ask - are you sure she asked that? Do you ever call her to talk? Maybe you should try just to see what kind of reception you get. At least this way the ball is in their court.

That seems like an odd thing to ask. If you had a good relationship before, maybe she''s waiting for you to reach out to her? Not that I think it''s your "responsibility" to, but maybe she doesn''t want to impose on your life or bother you? If she was always really nice to you then I tend to think it''s more that she hasn''t wanted to bother you or something along those lines. What does your FI think about it?
