[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it that would be a rude and needlessly hostile thing to say, so I imagine grandparents would react accordingly poorly. You don't have to be a jerk to draw boundaries.[/quote] Exactly. There are more diplomatic ways to say the same thing, such as "I still remember the awe and mystery I felt when you were doing this for me, and the gratitude I felt when I was old enough to know that you did that for me. I'm looking forward to sharing that same bond with DC." Something like that.[/quote] And that works not at all with a mother in law -- particularly a mother in law who willfully ignores boundaries and pretends she didn't know there might even be boundaries.
