[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only wish this was the extent of the "poor behavior" of my inlaws when they come for a visit.[/quote] +1 Try to keep things in perspective, OP. IF they are warm and welcoming in action (not just words), then seriously, be grateful. I hate telling a DIL to "be grateful", because it sounds like something a hag "know it all who knows nothing" MIL would say. But do your best and try to appreciate (for example) what they try (at least if they try!) to do for you and your family; that they like spending time with you (they like themselves); they enjoy their grandchildren (they likes being a parent, and take joy in all, not just select, grandchildren)..... Just some examples. I know it is difficult. But if they do not resent you, they are good people, deep down. My MIL has tons of issues, that just get worse with age. She needs a scapegoat, and I am not it. [/quote]
