[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:  if that were my parents, they would've kept him busy to the point when he would forget what is an iPad!  My father had stage IV cancer and yet every day he would go for walks with his other grand kids.  My mother has severe diabetes.  Every time she visits she doesn't sit and mop around, she scoops him up to the nearest playground or museum.  Now ILs are physically and mentally healthy people.  FIL is an expert fisherman.  Why not take your grandson fishing?  Just once.  Why is he sitting in the house, in this gorgeous weather, with a ^&*^%$ iPad?  Get him a book from his backpack, we packed about a dozen good books.  Let him ride a bike nearby.  [/quote]

Hey, OP.  I agree that sucks.  DH should take all the slack.  Don't answer phone calls from your inlaws and if they mention it at your next visit, DH is the one who needs to respond.  The matter isn't up for discussion, and obviously DS isn't allowed to go to inlaws without you unless he wants to in the future.  I'm guessing he won't for a good long while.

But you should focus at this point on getting DS things to do.  I agree with a PP -- call your old camp and figure out if there is any way to squeeze him back in.  If not, surf the internet (or ask for suggestions on this board) and call other camps and activities.  Hire someone to drive him if you need to (maybe a teen in the neighbor).  My ugess is that you have the bandwidth for this since you are on bedrest right now.
