[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let it go. My in laws don't give a care in the world about my kids. It bothered me for a couple years, and I even tried to cover for them a time or two...but I'm done with it. When they choose to drop in and pretend like they care, the kids are uninterested. My parents are wonderful grandparents. My kids don't need the other set. [/quote]

OP, its not you, its them.  If they are really awful people, they will try to use you as the excuse.  Don't let them phase you.  My MIL sits around at bridge looking for excuses to disrespect me.  Finally, when she brought photos in (of something she found fit to brag about), her friends actually told her I don't look so bad.  In a "no wonder you don't like her, she's nothing like you" kind of way.  FUNNY!

My point is, my MIL is always trying to take away from my and DH's family because we are "the son's family" not "the daughters family".  I call BS.  It just tells me that MIL was a rotten mother, just like she is a rotten MIL and grandmother.  MIL's ill behaviors speak for themselves, no matter how she tries to "say" that she treats us equally, or supports us, or whatever.

Flash forward a few years, my DC know exactly what is going on, and they are forming their own opinions. Which was inevitable, if MIL had any brains.  And I'm not going to wait for THAT to happen :)  Know it truly is not you.
