[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never said anything about grandchildren and you are comparing minor children to a self sufficient adult. Apples to oranges.

I can't forever pay for ALL travel for my children, their spouses and children so per DCUM, I wont see them unless I travel to them and only if my DIL allows the visit. [/quote]

But you said you'd only pay for your son.  So I'm pointing out how this could be viewed by the DIL (or future DIL) as poor treatment.  My IL considered me family as soon as they knew we were serious, same with my family. 
So yes, it is fair to say once you have grandkids are you NOT going to pay for DIL/SIL but pay for everyone else?  Obviously you are not paying for anyone, but lets assume you could afford it, would you pay for DIL/SO?  Or just "family".

Obviously nobody expects their parents and IL to pay for everything, but if you are paying for your kid and not their partner, then that is strange and don't be surprised if the partner is not a fan of having you around much...I don't like to be around people who treat me like crap and 2nd class citizen[/quote]
