[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the issue is in the approach.

My MIL can come over anytime and visit. Hell, I’ll glady leave the house! But she will call and say, “When can I HAVE Mary and Bill?” They aren’t possessions. [/quote]

So grandma can only see the kids are your house? And you withhold contact because you don't like the way she asks? Wow.

If you find no one in the family wants to spend time with your kids even though they are generally loving people who live within regular visiting distance look to how you act around them. If every time your sister wants to take the kids out for fun and you're all..."but no sugar, no sun, no TV time, check with me before you take them to any new place, don't give them any non-organic food, they need to be in bed by 8..." Obviously I'm being too much with it but some of you squeeze ALL the joy out of spending time with your kids. It's like you're so determined to prove to the world that YOU'RE THE MOMMY BY GOD AND YOU'LL CALL THE SHOTS EVERY SECOND OF EVERY DAY AND INTERACTION that you're guaranteeing your kids will never be close to anyone but you. Maybe that's your goal?

So glad my brothers aren't like this. I have so much fun with my nieces and nephews and they know they have two other adults (my DH) in their lives who love and adore them.[/quote]
I never said that, don’t put words in my mouth. And yes, she can come to my house if she wants to see them. Just like my parents do. If she invites us all over, we visit her, but when she calls and demands access, she has to come over to receive. Sorry! I work and have other things going on. But I never deny access.[/quote]
