DH and I have been together for 13 years. We have 2 girls aged 4. DH family live a couple of hours drive away. I get on very well with DH Sister who also has 2 kids 11 & 4 - she lives very near to DH's parents - which I think is relevant.
DH parents have always been dreadful at communication (DH himself isn't great but better over the years). They rarely keep in touch, but do come over to see us and we go over to see them. They make a big fuss of DC when they see them but then it's a case of out of sight out of mind I suppose.
We have a family whatsapp group, we message quite often with little updates. My problem is that I post what I consider to be very important updates, like DD1 coming around from a recent minor operation, DD2 in finding out that she needs to wear glasses - no response to either from parents. Then we send a pic of DD2 with her actual glasses on, she's so proud and loves them - no response.
SIL sends a pic of her two, a very innocuous picture of them playing in the garden and FIL replies straight away saying how lovely.
No issues, no arguments always get on well but this is a common theme in the relationship. DH just says he feels a bit sad about it but doesn't want to say anything to rock the boat, he just says it who they are.
Is DH right or should we bring it up? Both parents are mid 70's for reference.
