[quote=Anonymous][quote] I think what they'd really like is some sort of Downton Abbey type scenario where nanny (guess that's my role!) presents the children (in fresh white cotton) for an hour or so, and then everyone proceeds to cocktails. [/quote] Lots of grandparents are that way. I guess I can't really blame them - being with little kids can be exhausting, and maybe they are just not up for it any more now that they are older. I do feel that it is the role of the spouse to take on more in terms of dealing with the kids when you visit the other spouse's parents - after all, it is more important for the child (in this case your DH) to see his parents than the DIL or SIL. My DH does it for me, and I do it for him. [/quote]
