[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My FIL is sick with a fever and not feeling well.  Apparently my MIL told my husband that FIL cries every day because he misses his grandson and is now sick because he misses his grandson so much.  My husband is so worried about his parents and feels guilty for not FaceTiming with his parents multiple times a week(now they FaceTime maybe twice a week, but my husband talks to them much more often).  This seems so crazy to me.  I think in laws are just trying to manipulate and guilt us into visiting them more often.  They want us to visit twice a year and we were only planning on going once a year.  My son is 5 months old.  They have other grandchildren who are older, so this isn’t the only grandkid.  Anyone else with in laws like this?  What would you do?  My parents love my son, but aren’t so needy and crazy.  My in laws are Asian if it makes a difference.  In laws and I dislike each other, so visiting them is definitely not enjoyable.[/quote]

Your FIL is not sick because he misses your son. That is not how illness works, full stop.

Do not engage with them. If any of you feel the need to respond, say, "I'm sorry he's not feeling well! We are looking forward to our weekly FaceTime date and are very excited to see you in June." [/quote]
Unless it's a mental illness and FIL should see a psychiatrist.[/quote]
