[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is similar to the dynamic we had with my parents when my kids were small. DH’s parents sound just like your in-laws - willing to help, very doting and provided support while my parents could hardly bother to visit or pay much attention (except also for the social media posts for their friends). Now my kids are in their late teens and my parents are the more favored grandparents because my parents treat the kids like adults and have meaningful conversations with them while MIL is still buying them cute pencils and hair ties and isn’t particularly interesting. My point is that my in laws were the better grandparents for when the kids were younger and mine are now that the kids are older. People evolve and change and maybe your dynamic will too.[/quote]
