[quote=Anonymous]My MILs sister lives two streets over from her grandchildren. She sees them whenever the mood strikes (or whenever it works with their parents, I suppose.) They do dinners during the week, she picks them up from school for ice cream and takes them home afterwards, takes them to the park, swings by to grab them for a bike ride, etc.

My MIL lives about an hour (more during the week) away from us, so none of this is poossible. We see her about twice a month, on average. But she’s always comparing her situation to her sisters; “Ellen gets to see her grandkids whenever she wants. I only see mine twice a month. I wish I could see the kids more. I wish I could just drop by for ice cream.”

In the past, we’ve invited her to come fetch the kids after school for ice cream. It’s just so far, she’s either late or hits bad traffic or just complains about the drive in general. “This is far for just ice cream.” It seems we can’t win. But no matter what we do, she’s still jealous of her sister, and projects it on us.

How do we handle this, once and for all? [/quote]
