[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do kids need to see grandparents on their birthdays in a restaurant? Sitting in restaurants is for adults. Normal grandparents want to see their own kids and their spouses too, not just the grandkids, and pick a place that suits families with young kids. The whole premise of this event, having to see grandkids without their parents in a restaurant is weird. [/quote] It’s easy to see this MIL is selfish, or at the very least, self-important. Crying and throwing a fit because her grandkids couldn’t be there when the plans weren’t even made with them in mind? My MIL used to pull that when our kids were babies/toddlers and toddlers/preschoolers—plan elaborate and fancy dinners at restaurants that weren’t made for children, then complained when we’d send DH alone. She wanted her (birthday) cake and to eat it, too. [/quote]
