[quote=Anonymous]Honestly your in law complaints sound identical to every other poster on this board (you have to remind DH to keep in touch, they score keep about how fair the grandparent time is between your parents and them, they can be sensitive and prickly about perceived slights or favoritism), except your in laws are paying your kids' tuition and possibly leaving you a life-changing amount of money.

Stop thinking you're putting up with oh-so-much for the sake of an inheritance, and realize you're putting up with very run-of-the-mill family issues.  Your in laws prefer you spend every holiday with them instead of splitting with your parents?  That's not novel or crazy.  It's just part of life, managing grandparent expectations (in both directions). 
 If that's the kind of thing you would cut someone out of your life for, you should realize that you're in the minority. 
 Most people would just navigate those waters with zero potential inheritance, because that's part of having extended family.[/quote]
