[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two sons and completely understand that whomever they marry will likely control access to our sons and grandkids, so we will make it a point to be good in-laws.

Our plan is to move near one when they have kids (and then rent near the other if needed) so we can be helpful.  We hope they live somewhere fun/cool/warmish.[/quote]

Why would you think this?  [b]My in-laws are good people and sometimes drive me a little batty[/b], but I regularly encourage DH to see them more by inviting them to visit us or seeing if they want us to go there.  He declines every single time. He has a good relationship with them but is happy being lower contact.  I sometimes wonder if more DILs are like me and it's actually the sons who don't want more contact.[/quote]

Because of comments like this.  My in-laws never drive me batty...a little or otherwise.  It's quite possible your definition of a "little batty" = batshit crazy to him, so he doesn't risk the drama.[/quote]

It's great that you get along perfectly with your ILs, but it's ok for people to admit minor (or even major) things about family on an anonymous message board that they wouldn't say to their family.  I think you need a little perspective.[/quote]
