[quote=Anonymous]It's your husband's relationship to manage. They're his parents. If he's not asking you to push the status quo- and in fact you say he doesn't want to talk about it -- then don't push. Your kids love your ILs enough to want to see them- which is why they were disappointed the visit was shortened. That means they have a decent connection. Plus you're doing the two trips. The only way your kids are getting a sense that they're less valued than the cousins is if you are the one conveying that message. This is not a relationship you can manage. So stop dwelling on it. Your kids are fine. They're not the center of you in laws' life but they do have a connection. Don't make yourself miserable comparing yourself to the more involved cousins. That honestly sounds like ego, not that there's actually anything wrong. [/quote]
