[quote=Anonymous]Okay, I think you need to acknowledge you have mis-handled this.  The time to take a stand was at the beginning!  Back when gifts were things like coloring books and trips were to the ice cream place.  But instead you kept the grandparents apart from the children you say you want them to think of as their grandchildren.  And now you're on your high horse that the grandparents are following your lead of not spending time with them?  WTF.  Sorry, no.  If this were so important to you, you should have handled it differently.

Look, not everyone gets the family they wanted.  Your stepchildren probably wanted happily married parents.  Maybe they would have wanted the ink to dry on their parents' divorce before their dad started dating, hmm? 
 Maybe you wanted a husband who wasn't freshly divorced.  And you being disappointed by your own parents' approach here is just one more flavor of disappointment.  Everyone's disappointed by their families sometimes.  That's the way it goes.[/quote]
