[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly is it she wants you to do that you're not doing for your own kids?[/quote]

Her kids/grandkids are all 30/60/90-minute drives away, less than half as far as mine.  We go to every possible event with them.  Ratio of interaction is like 20:1 vs. mine who are twice as far away or more.[/quote]

If you want to be with your grandkids more, you need to move to be near them or make the effort. Obviously.

My MIL moved closer, my FIL did not, so she is very involved in their lives, whereas our kids didn't even know him -- he never came to visit our kids and died before he ever even met our youngest. The older kids got to visit him a few times, but that time was split up among visiting all the different families we had to go see while there, and it was a very expensive trip for us as young family just starting out in life with very little time off work allowed. My kids are adults now and none of them remember him at all. It's very sad.[/quote]
