[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP. No, it's: Let's spend the morning at one teen's soccer game. Then let's check out the other teen's swim meet. Then let's go to the coffee shop where she works. [/quote]

Oh, I see how it is. You're jealous because Granny is much more involved in the cousins' lives than she is in yours. You think Granny should drop all the support she provides for the other grandkids because your special snowflakes are visiting her. [/quote]
I wouldn’t word it so harshly but there is truth to this response. Your MIL is involved in the day to day lives of her other grandkids and doesn’t think she needs to give up watching Larlo’s soccer game or Larla’s swim meet just because you and your family have decided to visit. Perhaps you should check with her before visiting to see what her plans are, and once you do pick a weekend to go visit make concrete plans (ie going to a museum, zoo, pumpkin patch, etc.) for some bonding time with your kids.[/quote]
