Disagree, it comes down to how nice the in laws are.[/quote]
NOPE.[/quote]

Actually? Yep. My ILs were great and all was going along swimmingly for years—we saw them often, traveling to them/with them/they came to us—until I got pregnant. From the instant they knew a grandbaby was on the way, they got insanely jealous of my parents, who were already grandparents through my sister/BIL. MIL especially started bean-counting, FIL tried to “insist” on a family name, they were both mad that DH and I chose not to find out the baby’s sex, ILs were mad that we decided not to go to an ANNUAL family reunion (same place, same people) we had been to many, many times because it was too close to the due date for travel. On and on. They became different people. DH was at first baffled, then hurt, then disappointed and angry about their pushy, intrusive, competitive, jealous behavior. Now, we rarely see them, and he almost never calls them—not worth it to hear about their guilt trips and demands.

Oh well. [/quote]
