[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, It sounds like you are certain there is no malevolence here. Am I correct? In my case, I noticed an increase in step-mom's hostility that turned out to be coordinated with a meeting with their lawyer about the will (I wasn't present for the estate discussions).

Assuming no malevolence, are there things you could do like play mini golf with grandpa that extend the visit time but give her a break?[/quote]

I'm actually not sure.  I was trying to keep this about the current dilemma but GF is generally quite guarded about her own life and also can be kind of tough in conversation.  Honestly it's only recently dawned on me that apart from her general anxiety and tendency toward awkward comments (noted by not just us but all of DH's extended family) she actually might just really not like me, in particular.  And/or might feel that all of the 5 (pretty normal in every way I can think of) grandkids are somehow "problem" children.  There is not a lot of transparency around this and as a PP noted she and FIL are for SURE not on the same page about certain things which I know contributes.[/quote]
