[quote=Anonymous]I'd definitely see the grandparents and look for other ways to enhance the relationship with inaccessible mom -- if she's willing to engage more. And, don't discuss your travel plans with mom. Several years ago BIL called us to complain that our Xmas letter made it sound like we're closer with my family. Because we mentioned our vacation to see them and a couple visits to they made to us. Thing is, my family makes an effort to have that relationship with us. They fly across the country to see us and we do the same. ILs live a 3 hr drive away, never visit us (despite being invited) and have been known to leave town when we make plans to come down to see them. So, yes, we are closer to my family. Now they don't get our Xmas letter and we don't otherwise discuss our travel plans. Problem solved :)[/quote]
