[quote=Anonymous]Similar switch here. But I'm finding as they get older that though it's sad they don't see their grandparents a lot, they also aren't getting spoiled in the wrong ways by them. My in laws are heavily involved in my sil kids care - they all live in California- at 10 and 16 yrs old, w pick up and drop off. They could say no more because the other grandparents live there. But every visit to see my three under seven results in multiple calls and checks to be sure the grandparents are returning to help out/ while we have no other family in this country. I just think it's crazy we rely on ourselves- we were the ones who wanted kids. Yet sil relies on them without thankfulness or self awareness. So she pawns them off when the grandparents come out and it annoys me.

I try to focus on the good of knowing their cousins but the boy is great whereas the 10 yr old girl has a whiny voice and attitude and I have to watch and explain as her picky eating is rewarded with candy by grandma. It sucks. Mine aren't dumb- they'll soon catch on what a pill she is and what an enabler grandma is.[/quote]
