[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignore. She’s not willing to do the work to have the relationship her sister has with her grandkids. [/quote]
OP here: And what drives me nuts is that MIL sister will ASK, we know for a fact, she will call her kids and say, can I grab the grandkids today and take them to the park?

My MIL, on the other hand, is so afraid she will be told no, that she never asks! She 100% waits for us to plan everything, and then complains that we never invite her to see the kids. We’ve told her a million times, if you want to see them one day, just ASK! Worst we can say is we have plans. She all out refuses and waits for us.[/quote]

NP. This doesn't need to drive you nuts. You're letting it. Stop wasting mental space and emotional energy on this.

You make efforts to include her and to see her. You facilitate Grandma time. If she doesn't appreciate it more, that's too bad, but it is what it is. You aren't in charge of her feelings. You can't make her be logical or rational.

Stop engaging with her on this. Drop the rope. You are not in control of what she says or does or whines about. If she yaps at you too much, tell her to talk to her son.[/quote]
