[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do they know about stuff if you/DH/kids aren’t telling them about it? When they whine, redirect. “We’re going to X Event as a family, but if you’d like to see us, we’d be happy to have you over for pizza on Date.” If they whine about that, tell them point blank if they want special time with the kids, you need help on Date A or Date B. If they balk, just keep repeating that if they want to see kids, those are good dates.[/quote] Op here. DC mentioned this one in conversation. We do mention it to them as part of saying what’s going on in our lives or what we’ve been up to recently. I don’t think I should go out of my way to hide it? I just think it’s interesting/odd that this generation of grandparents wants to be invited to everything. I can’t imagine in a million years my grandma being upset about not coming to a school program when I was a kid. And I saw my grandma a ton, usually because she was helping my parents out.[/quote]
