my wife has issues with her damn parents also.

Dad was never really around. He doesnt call, text, email, none of that shit.
Mom is cold. we invited her to our son's christening. She didn't attend bc she's not into church (or for whatever other reasons). She didn't call my wife (who she talks to daily) for like 4 days before and 4 days after the christening to avoid being asked about attending or asked why she didnt attend. this was before Thanksgiving. She JUST texted my wife for the first time in weeks the other day. She had unfriended her on FB and all that dumb shit.
She talking about 'can you bring the kids over on Xmas." I'm like 'yall can go ahead"
