[quote=Anonymous]My in-laws do exactly the same thing. Don't most in-laws? Especially grandparents on the father's side (who seem to be more insecure about their connection with the grandchildren for some reason). However, you just have to let it go. My kids (now 4 and 1) have consistently and infinitely preferred me to DH. I am not insecure when my MIL and FIL talk this way because I know that my years of being there for both kids (and working through endless baby and toddler play and the more interesting and fun preschool years, still sort of a chore :) ) resulted in a strong bond that no amount of in-law talk can change. DH is a good dad, but he's sometimes on his smartphone or says something snappish or gets tired and won't play. It's tough but I don't do those things, and [i]that's[/i] what will shape your relationship with your kids, not what grandma and grandpa say.[/quote]
