[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.

I am not a troll. I'm just taking responses with a grain of salt and replying to those I see fit.

I agree with you all that I need to go easier on the kids because of their ages. In the past, I have not bothered with doing anything differently with the situation because I thought their age mattered. I appreciate the feedback from you all that because they are so young is, indeed, a factor to why they act the way that they do.

To the comments about how lucky I am to have family close-- I get this a lot. I know that I am blessed to have family near but once again, they don't want to help when I *need* the help. [b]They want to help when they can have fun. [/b]The grass isn't always greener and I know that if we had no family that I would be jealous of those who did. However, nobody truly can understand this situation or the family dynamic with MIL. And yes, to say that she is passive-aggressive is an understatement.

All in all, I play in the sandbox with MIL because I have to be respectful. However, there are things above and beyond this that  need to be worked out with the in laws. Again, though, I have to pick and choose my battles. I will talk to MIL about helping me when I get there and see how it goes. Thank you for your replies. [/quote]

And what is wrong with this OP? You are not owed help from them when you *need* it.[/quote]
You're right. Helping someone who *needs* it, is an ethical issue, not something you *owe* them. Although some of us believe differently.[/quote]
