[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Timing. Your DH's parents were prime grandparent age with their first. IME, this happens between 65 and 75. They are too old for the second group. They have already invested 20 years with the other grandchildren. We had a similar issue. If your parents are engaged, that is great. My children got one set that was worn out and one set that chose to be vacation and holiday grandparents. We found local alternatives. [/quote] I think you are so right on here. My MIL is just like OP's - my kids are the same age as her great grand kids (some of mine are even younger). She loves them, but has no energy or patience to deal with them. My oldest is now 16 and they are developing a very nice relationship - now that he is older, no longer high energy, needs no supervision and no care. It's not my MIL's fault that I delayed having kids and I don't blame her for not doing what she really isn't capable of doing. [/quote]
