[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a big believer in taking responsibility for what you're supposed to do.  In this case, it's the responsibility of you ex to foster the relationship between his kids and his parents.

If he's out of town and your exILs call you to set up plans with their grandkids, don't block it.  But I would also treat it as I would any other playdate.  What are the logistics?  Who is picking up and dropping off?  Where and what time?[/quote]

NP. It sounds like they're still married. However, I still think it's the husband's responsibility to coordinate with his parents.[/quote]
We ARE still married. I don't block it if it works for me when they ask. His weekend for instance, they want to visit the kids. I'm exhausted and tired from multiple things - busy week.. I said no, doesn't work. They think I'm being selfish, my husband inks I'm being difficult. He won't be back until Tuesday. I don't want to do anything this weekend, especially visit with inlaws without my husband. I guess the play date comparison is accurate.[/quote]

Drama queen.  Poor you.  You're tired.  The rest of humanity also works and are tired on weekends and evenings BUT most of us know it is important to maintain a relationship with both sets of grandparents.  You sound like a PITA princess.[/quote]
Oh please. OP is basically a single mother while her husband is away, dealing with kids and some sort of issues, as mentioned. She's allowed to be tired. I'm guessing you have a husband at home? Or are you just Super Single Mom? You never get tired? And you plan your weekends around your husbands or ex husbands parents? Riiight...[/quote]
