[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your parents are hurt and angry that they aren’t getting a chance to develop a close relationship with your children, and seeing that happening with your in-laws feels like a twist of the knife to them. I would try a direct conversation focused on acknowledging they want more time and what they can do to make it happen, assuming you feel comfortable with them having the kids. I would not get into past complaints, just ask them to focus on the present and future. If they can engage constructively that will tell you a lot. If they remain fixated on feeling slighted even after you say “I know you want more time with Larlo and Larla, let’s talk about how we can do it,” several times, that will also tell you a lot.[/quote]
