[quote=Anonymous]How much or how little time a grandparent spends with a child should have nothing to do with the other grandparents. Does your DH want you to have his father over more? What's the problem here? It's not a competition. If someone loves and engages your children, that's wonderful. Encourage that. If someone is ok with seeing them only a few hours a few times a year, that's ok. Keep the relationship open, but don't define it. My MIL drives me nuts and sometimes isn't very nice to me in general. But she's wonderful with my DD and loves her immensely. My own father, who I love very much, just isn't very interested in small children. It's just not how he's wired. It's OK! I love them both. My DD will have unique and different relationships with each of them. It doesn't have to be the perfect grandparent relationship.[/quote]
