[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those saying to suck it up, what about when they get older and start increasing their demands? Manipulative people aren’t going to stop being manipulative when they’re in a more vulnerable state, things will just get worse.[/quote]

What demands?  MIL "sulks" if they go to the other grandparents' for a holiday, and doesn't send OP Mother's Day cards.  Where is the demand?  Or manipulation, for that matter?

OP, your kids miss their grandparents, they live in town, they want to spend time with you and are apparently incredibly generous with you, and you haven't described any reason to cut them out of your life.  What is your problem?[/quote]

Why would OP's MIL send OP a Mother's Day card? OP is not MIL's mother. I can't imagine my parents or in laws sending me a Mother's Day card- why? because I am not their mother.

My spouse and I honor our mothers not the other way around. Mother's Day is for remembering your mother or someone who is in a mothering role to you, not just any mom you happen to know.

Because she did ever since I had my first kid until more recent years when it depends on where we stand with her. [/quote]

But it's your MIL who does too much scorekeeping, right?  :shock: [/quote]
