[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Simple solution- have HIM take the kids out with his mother. Why are YOU doing that?

They are old enough to be with her unsupervised BUT at her age, she shouldn't be driving and could have medical issues, so your DH should be there. Think of it as a bonding moment between mother and son and grandkids. PLUS you get some free time while they are having a fun visit.

I used to take my dc over to see MIL and it would eat up the whole day. I got along with MIL but she wanted to spend time with her grandchild, not me. I wasn't offended since MY PARENTS pretty much ignored me if their grandchild was around. So one day, my DH wanted to take her over and I just packed her diaper bag and sent him over, explaining she didn't want to see me anyway and it would make a nice visit for the two of them. No one was offended. And it gave me  a break. When I take my kids over to see my parents, my DH rarely comes, so it's not a big deal. He gets chores done while we are away.
