[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s perspective. My MIL thinks my mom gets more, but in reality, my MIL gets the longer more intimate visits, sleepovers, etc, and my mom gets lunches and short visits, but more frequently. [/quote]a
Reverse situation here and  local MIL complains that she only gets lunches and short visits. She insists on the sleepovers and older kids do stay over once every couple of months. I would be nicer and more accommodating had she not treated me like she did for the first 7 years of my marriage. She was a cartoonish MIL from hell: went through my stuff, locked me out of MY house, spit out the food I cooked as iin disgust, checked for dust in the most random places, etc. She is now trying to be civil as DH puts it, but she will never ever get any privelage over my parents. She made her bed. rant’s over.

My dad’s paternal grandparents lived with his parents, did not speak the same language as my dad’s mom, but were closer to my dad and his siblings than their maternal grandparents because of the access.[/quote]

I never had it this bad but my MIL is a narcissist and treated me badly in very odd passive aggressive ways when we dated and before our kids came along.  After the kids came, she acted like my first born belonged to her.  It was bizarre.  I found ways to shut her out.  Her loss as I do t think my kids ever liked her much anyway.  They could smell the suffocating manipulation a mile away. [/quote]
