[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and they are achieving all kinds of milestones: first snowman, Christmas lights, the one year old memorizing books and demanding to "read" them, kids dancing to new songs, sometimes singing new songs or making up new ones, all kinds of stuff. 3 year old is trying to write letters now so that's exciting. But I'm probably overwhelming them, especially the in laws with kids of their own[/quote]

A lot of these things are pretty mundane. You don't need to update your in laws every time they learn a new song.  [/quote]

I’ll be the contrarian. I think my in-laws would be hurt if I were only sending kid photos to my parents. I make sure to include them on stuff too. I mean I think it’s a safe bet most grandparents (maternal or paternal side) want to see snow day pics of their grandchildren. From what I’ve heard, being a grandparent is pretty awesome. All the cute kid stuff without the day to day responsibility![/quote]

I think although I'm not sure that when people were saying not to include the in laws, they didn't mean the other set of grandparents, just in laws like sisters and brothers in law (aka aunts and uncles).

That being said, if the grandparents aren't responding at all, it may be a signal you are sending too many texts even to them.[/quote]
