[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious OP, how rigid have you been over the years with the whole dcum no treats, nap time at x time only, no plastic/battery powered toys, quit buying clothes/toys/books/snacks/Christmas presents not on my Amazon list, only hand picked locally farmed organic kale, no meat, no TV, no screen time...band wagon that so many of the dcum moms insist upon?

If you look at things honestly and objectively, have you made it a little difficult for them to feel like important parts of the kids lives, especially when they were younger and you were a newer mom?

It may just be that SIL has always been more welcoming of their involvement and interest and more understanding of their indulgences and shortfalls, so that it is just naturally easier for them to be involved grandparents for the cousins than it is for your children.[/quote] That was my first thought. It is likely that many of the posts of this nature are a direct result of the actions of the one ranting. Peruse the family thread. It's can do nothing right from getting the wrong toy, too many toys or not enough toys,  giving treats, eating too much food, or the wrong food themselves, visiting too much or not enough,  having differences of opinion on a myriad of topics, hell, even taking a dump in the powder room. When your expectations are unreasonable, too controlling, too one-sided, too judgmental, etc., you will reap what you sow. [/quote]
