[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think it's a bit rude that your MIL completely avoids your parents. She should at least be willing to see them every other visit or so. It would be nice for your kids to have all of their grandparents together in a room. I remember I loved when all of my grandparents were together with me. [/quote]

That's all well and good, but it has nothing to do with the situation. MIL is a grown adult, and if she doesn't want to socialize with someone, she just doesn't have to. Now, OP/DH can still invite their parents over and give MIL fair warning, and it's on MIL to take herself out to dinner if she feels that strongly about it. But really, MIL should get an occasional visit the way she wants an occasional visit.

My parents would never be so rude as to push themselves on someone who doesn't care to socialize with them. My parents are gracious enough to drop the rope. [/quote]

If MIL wants to control the guest list, MIL can host.  End of story.[/quote]
