[quote=Anonymous]My FIL couldn't care less about my children's existence. He was like that with my husband growing up as well. Basically he treats kids as annoyances. My MIL wants to be involved but she wants to be needed, so she prefers my husband's sister and her kids because they need her time and money and we don't. My mom has early onset dementia and she loves my children and gets them little gifts and wants to spend time with them. If she weren't so disabled she'd be a lovely grandmother but it's hard. My dad was the best grandparent in the world and he died last year. It was a huge loss. There's no right answer, OP. Some people have awful parents. Some have wonderful parents. Some live close by, some far away. Some have lots of money, some have none. Haven't you seen this with your friends? There is no one size fits all situation here.[/quote]
