[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious OP, how rigid have you been over the years with the whole dcum no treats, nap time at x time only, no plastic/battery powered toys, quit buying clothes/toys/books/snacks/Christmas presents not on my Amazon list, only hand picked locally farmed organic kale, no meat, no TV, no screen time...band wagon that so many of the dcum moms insist upon?

If you look at things honestly and objectively, have you made it a little difficult for them to feel like important parts of the kids lives, especially when they were younger and you were a newer mom?

It may just be that SIL has always been more welcoming of their involvement and interest and more understanding of their indulgences and shortfalls, so that it is just naturally easier for them to be involved grandparents for the cousins than it is for your children.[/quote]

We are a go with the flow family.   My SIL is actually the you can't hold the baby until you show proof of flu shot, can't come over when infant napping, only organic foods family.

Sre you too go with the flow then?

As in, your kids are more spirited or independent from less helicoptering?  That can be just as trying for some old people than the typical dcum uptight controlling mom.

My guess is that there is something about how SIL parents that makes visiting their house much more enjoyable than your house.[/quote]
