My MIL definitely does. My FIL doesn’t expect it at all.

I will text my in-laws happy birthday, and we send them a gift for birthdays and Mother’s Day/Father’s day. My husband picks out the gifts for his parents typically.
Everyone on both sides of our family is invited for Christmas Eve dinner at our house - and we usually throw a cookout once during the summer too. My MIL and FIL live about 10 hours away and don’t always come, but the invite is always there.

They live 6 minutes away by bicycle so we celebrate their birthday together, we eat together in the 25th of December and that’s about it
As a parent of married children, we do a family Christmas at some mutually agreed day near Christmas and an optional family Thanksgiving every other year.
Rarely do anything special for birthdays.
We do holidays with both families, birthdays too.
My mother expects it and for the greetings to be before 12pm so she can “enjoy” it. 😂 She feels insulted when people her wish her happy birthday after more than half of the day has gone by.
Nope. They are chill as hell and it’s great
