[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, if you were in your MIL's shoes, how would you feel? Her reaction is normal, though the delivery childish. I think it's not too much to ask to stop by the ILs on a holiday itself once in a while. [/quote] If I was the grandparent in this situation I would talk to my child about how I felt. I would not take the easy road and dump it on my child’s spouse — or worse whine to my grandchildren about how their parents are structuring plans. Both of those options are cringeworthy. Plus, I don’t believe that this particular MIL would be okay with skipping seeing her son for a holiday. OP said they celebrate the weekend after with her as a family. It sounds like she would want OP to bring the kids on Thursday and then come back with her DH and kids on the weekend. That is way too much to ask of anyone. [/quote]
