[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it makes you feel any better, when my IL's used to demand "alone time" when our kids were little, I felt really bad that DH and I might have been overly anxious and neurotic. And then I started comparing notes with my friends, and many of them explained that their parents rarely hung out with their grandkids alone and would never insist on it for the grandparents' sake. If something came up and they were needed, they would be happy to help. Otherwise, they enjoy everyone hanging out together. Being alone with the grandkids wasn't something they thought had to happen for a close relationship to develop. I now realize that grandparents getting hysterical about not having alone time can be a red flag.[/quote] This!!![/quote]
