"Saturday night I get a pissed off text complaining that I hadn't so much as even said hello to her and that I obviously don't really care and so on."
Erm, works both ways, surely?

Slightly different scenario, but I'm always the one who calls / visits my immediate family. I don't do so as often. The reason? Nobody ever thinks to ring / visit me.

Sounds like a bit of an excuse to me.
