[quote=Anonymous]So yes, you are overthinking this. Talk up the grandparents, talk up the country. Show your DC lots of pictures of both. She should know who the grandparents are in the pictures and what to call them. Other than that RELAX and let it happen. Do what you can to help make your DC comfortable, but don't force it. Yes the grandparents might try to force some affection here and there, that's ok, but you also don't have to encourage it. "DC doesn't feel much like hugging right now, how about a high five for grandpa?". Then move along. There's a very good chance your kid will be uncomfortable, maybe even bratty. Oh well. That's life and everyone will survive even if it doesn't go perfectly. Make your child the top priority and let the in laws bitch as they may. It's only a visit, and clearly you don't see them much, so it doesn't have to go perfectly. Relax, it'll be fine. And if it's not fine, that will still be fine.[/quote]
