[quote=Anonymous]They like the idea of being with the grandchildren, but not actually doing anything. My parents are like that. They hear from their friends about going on vacation, living nearby, etc. and get jealous. And they do love my kid very much. But then when they visit, they have zero interest in actually doing anything with my kid and have unrealistic expectations regarding behavior. I have lowered my expectations accordingly and I don't engage whenever they bring up vacations, moving, etc. 1. No more vacations. 2. "Mom, Dad, we've discussed this before. We are not moving into town." Change subject. Next time "Mom, Dad, we've discussed this before, we are not moving." Leave room. [/quote]
