[quote=Anonymous]My parents were much more involved with my older siblings' kids, but those cousins are 15-20 years older than my kids. My parents are not only much older now, but we don't live nearby. They love my kids, and I don't hold it against them. My husband's parents are similar- they live half a country away, close to their other grandchildren, so they are much more involved in their lives than in my kids'. I was talking to a drunk woman at a party recently and she complained bitterly about this same situation. Her parents were much more involved in the lives of the older grandchildren than in her children's. She gives her parents hell about it and they have backed off even further. For me, as long as my children don't know the difference I'm not going to strain relationships over it.[/quote]
