[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My in-laws do exactly the same thing. Don't most in-laws? Especially grandparents on the father's side (who seem to be more insecure about their connection with the grandchildren for some reason). [/b] However, you just have to let it go. My kids (now 4 and 1) have consistently and infinitely preferred me to DH. I am not insecure when my MIL and FIL talk this way because I know that my years of being there for both kids (and working through endless baby and toddler play and the more interesting and fun preschool years, still sort of a chore :) ) resulted in a strong bond that no amount of in-law talk can change. DH is a good dad, but he's sometimes on his smartphone or says something snappish or gets tired and won't play. It's tough but I don't do those things, and [i]that's[/i] what will shape your relationship with your kids, not what grandma and grandpa say.[/quote] Da Fuq??[/quote]
