[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is pretty crappy behavior. There's a petty part of me that would be tempted to tell mom about DC's amazing and wonderful experiences with his other grandma. How she attends both his activities when she can, and about the special, special bond they have.

But, of course that would be nonproductive and fuel the fire so probably not a good idea.[/quote]

I do tell them in a non petty way. I used to hide how involved my ILs are, but I’ve stopped hiding it because it’s not my job to protect my parents from their own messed up behavior. It’s always matter of fact. My mom will say “oh I saw you guys went out of town, did larlo come with?” “No, ILs watched larlo”. Same with activities. They like to claim we only invite ILs, but I’ll say “no one is invited. You know we have a game every Saturday, ILs ask if they can come and we said yes. If you’d like to come, you are more than welcome, please let me know. DC would like for you to come” They came once out of probably 40 times. ILs have come nearly every time (which is definitely not expected on our end) so it’s pretty disparate.[/quote]
