[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My husband just reminded me that his own parents took several week long cruises during his childhood where his grandparents kept him and his two siblings. AND my SIL (their own daughter) has rockstar inlaws and [b]thinks her own parents are sucky grandparents.[/b]

But I guess none of us are going to change each other’s minds. It was interesting to hear everyone’s thoughts nonetheless. Peace![/quote]

How do you know this?  Are you actively discussing how FIL is a "dud" and they "suck" with your SIL - while still accepting your in laws' offer of four overnights a year?[/quote]

Yes, my SIL and I are good friends and we discuss her parents honestly. She makes her feelings known and understands my feelings. She has the “do anything” type of inlaws and is extremely grateful. She apologizes to me on her parents behalf.[/quote]

OP, you are complaining about four overnights per year? You need to either make more friends, stay home, or hire a sitter like the rest of us. MIL would watch SILs (2 of them) kids (4 of them) multiple times per week, plus week or two vacations (plural) during the year.  MIL either thought we didn't know, or didn't care, because that is the kind of person she is.  Frankly, we would not have wanted someone like that watching our kids, because if she did, she would be watching television or reading the paper the entire time, ignoring our children.  To be honest, she didn't do such a great job the first time around.

And stop counting other people's pennies. [/quote]
