[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not saying you are not right to be upset and angry with your SIL for the overall situation, but for what happened today I don't see much reason for all this anger...

It was your child birthday party;
You didn't invite their aunt because she lives 6hrs away;
Grandparents came to  b-day party, stayed through dinner and opening of gift - so, they did celebrate with your DD;
Grandparents left earlier to meet with their daughter who was in the city for a quick visit.

What is the issue here? You wanted the grandparents to stay until the very end of the party? Yeah, would be cool but I doubt your daughter was upset about it.... they came and celebrated with her.

NOW, if they had skipped it all together then it would be a different story.

Also, look at the bright side of all this... since the IL show more favoritism to your SIL, when they are old and need care, leave it to her to provide it - since they are closer to her.[/quote]

I think you make some good points, PP, but I also think OP is reacting not to what happened the day of her daughter's party but to a pattern of behaviors that stretch over a period of time - years, apparently. (I could be wrong about this, but this is what I get from her post.)

As for SIL caring for the ILs when they're in need - I don't think so. If SIL is as OP portrays her, OP is the one who will be providing the care. SIL will be interfering and causing a host of problems, but she won't be helping. (Sorry, OP.)[/quote]
