I agree with some of the mummies here about just greeting your in laws, whether you feel like it a not. First of all, it's basic respect. Just like when you visit your friend's place, you will also greet their parents right and not just ignore them right? Furthermore, you are staying with them and when your baby is born, you will never know how much help you'll need from them whether they will be the main caregiver for your baby a not. I will say let's not compare your own family with your hubby's family cos everyone's upbringing is different and character too. You can't expect your in laws to behave like your own parents and vice versa. And your in laws lived longer than you, to them greeting is respect decades ago do you expect them to give in just because to you think greeting is not important? This is actually a very trivial small matter, and they are the ones who brought your husband to where he is today, I do think more or less they deserve a basic respect? Think in the long run if they are not longer in this world, do you want to feel guilty of not being respectful to them enough when they were alive? And how about your child, if your daughter or son in law don't greet you, you will have the impression that he/she doesn't have basic manners too! Think in their shoes as an elderly...
