[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's certainly ok to back off in terms of what you do for the ILs in response to their backing off in their relationship with you. I'd imagine it stings a bit to find out that the friendship you thought you had isn't what you thought it was--or is just superseded by the arrival of a grandchild. I wonder how much of it is situational and may change as your child ages and it makes more sense to have family get-togethers. The set-up with seeing your DD works for now, but that is not how things will be forever. With the gifts, use what you can and pass on to friends what you can't. That's not worth getting into unless it is too much.[/quote] Right, I wonder what she is going to do when I start sending baby to school. The thing is, you can't ignore me for 2 years and then expect me to start spending my weekends with you because you no longer see grand daughter during the week. (See, I'm resentful. Which I hate, but I can't help it). [/quote]
