[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why should your MIL care who your kids have for school?  That's your job.  You're the parent.  Your expectations are unreasonable.  I can't imagine caring who specifically my grandchildren have for school, which soccer team they are on, etc.  Tell me where to be and I'll show up.  I'll probably be really involved in hearing about their music lessons because I find that interesting.  But I was barely interested in soccer when my own kids played it.  [/quote]

DP. My parents care because they enjoy reading up on the teacher's bio on the school website and following the classroom blog. They love hearing about my kids' sports teams and who scored a goal, what color the team is, whatever. [/quote]

Are your kids the only grandkids? Are your parents retired? My parents both work full time and there are 12 grandkids. I wouldn't expect them to know who my child's teacher is.[/quote]

NP. Wow, this struck me, too. My mom will ask what's your teacher's name and will remember it, but she would never DREAM of being on the school website. I would think it was kind of creepy if she dug that deep![/quote]
