[quote=Anonymous]That sucks OP.  Your SIL is being very rude.  Is she an only child?

My SILs inlaws are great, but because her husband is an only child they always drop in for events that are supposed to be her parents originally.

My MIL gets very upset by this. I don't really blame her. She lives about an hour away and my BILs parents live in the same town. She is older and has mobility issues. His parents are young and more spry. When they are there, she comes off as crabby old grandma (she is) and his mom is young and fun grandma (also true)

It really sucks for my MIL because she drives all that way expecting and excited to be Grandma with a capital G, and she eventually ends up feeling left out as cool fun grandma who sees the grandkids all the time gets at least half if not more of the attention and love.

It sucks for her and I say this as an observer who is not exactly Team MIL.

My BILs family doesn't think anything of it as he is an only child so of course they are going to spend all that time with them, even if the other inlaws are there.

I totally understand where you are coming from. That is just rude.[/quote]
