[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you just tell them you don't know why. You don't know why she chose to go this route. Lots of people fight and manage to maintain relationships with others in the family. I invited my mom to my son's party 3 times. She screened my calls. On his birthday she acted as if she did not have any opportunity to celebrate with him. I thought about getting him a gift and saying it was from her, but someone else (a pastor) told me to let my kid figure out through small actions like this how much he can depend on her, or not. It will make in impression, but that isn't your fault and they will be OK. Maybe your MIL feels it would be "fake" or "phony" to pretend everything is fine. Well, it isn't. [b]THis is a missed opportunity for a grandmother to be a Nana, but a way for your kids to see who they can count on when the chips are down. [/b] Make sure you will is clear that this person should not be their guardian should anything happen to you 2![/quote] Agree with all. Especially the bolded.[/quote]
