[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are your kids? What are you concerned about, exactly? This isn't about you, it's about your kids building a relationship with their grandparents, which is very valuable. If you don't have safety or discipline type issues, then I'd probably send them assuming it won't be a total disaster with the kid that doesn't like visiting. My 4 year old LOVES sleep overs at grandma's now, but the first few were really challenging until she got comfortable with the space/routine.

Also, be mindful about projecting your feelings onto your kids. My mom badmouthed her MIL when I was a kid and it looking back on it, it was very poor parenting on her part. Your kids can tell who you like and who you don't like, don't bias them against their grandparents.[/quote]

NP here. What you wrote is really wise and I totally agree with it. I need to work on the 2nd part though, absolutely detest my MIL, for now she is simply a grandparent when convenient for her and I guess I should try to take it positively.[/quote]
