[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be honest! My in laws have zero interest in spending time with my parents and I was up front with my parents about this right away so this never comes up. They exchange holiday cards and that’s the extent of the relationship. [/quote] I think in OP’s case her MIL does act like she wants a relationship with OP’s parents and is happy to accept things from her parents and catch up on the phone, but doesn’t want to spend an hour or two with them due to her own discomfort about being the “away” grandparent. That’s also probably why OP’s parents are confused when she hides from them that she’s coming and wants OP to handle the situation in her favor. That’s selfish of her and she’s not thinking of what’s good for the grandkids—only her own feelings. [/quote]
