[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It goes both ways too. My MIL is way more involved with her daughters' families and never offers to visit or help us the same as she does them. I also think that young families raise their kids more like how the mom was raised instead of the dad. [/quote] Agreed. Both my parents and ILs live out of state, but ILs are retired. They were here a couple months ago to visit, and over Skype yesterday lamented when they’d see our DS again (he’s 2). DH was like, come whenever you want, to which they replied, oh but we’re busy every weekend this spring. Their other grandson (by DH’s sister) is 12 and has baseball/soccer games every weekend, and they want to attend them all. They are kind, loving grandparents but I know my DS will never have as close of a relationship with them as they do my SIL’s kids, for several reasons. It just is what it is, but I get the sense DH is resentful about it.[/quote]
