Until this past year I have been the one to get birthday cards, father day cards, "Remember to call so and so", etc. I've taken my hand out of it and let FI do what he wants with his family because we've decided to 'split things' in a way. Anyways. FI said he was going to get IL's a birthday card. I know this is silly but aside from deciding if I should sign it, should I even call the IL's to say Happy Birthday? In the past I would have done it without question (although I'm finding out that cards and gifts didn't go over well with her) but FMIL hates me at the moment and has for several months now and I am in that damned if you do, damned if you don't position and no matter what it's not good enough with her.
I'll talk to FI about it later and see what he wants me to do. I've also considered texting her that way I don't have to actually talk to her plus she's more into texting than talking plus it'll more than likely go to voicemail. I know I am trying to squirm my way out of it but I'm in a timeout with her and she has started to try to start stuff between me and FI (that was squashed first thing) again.
