[quote=Anonymous]I agree with this being a very normal situation. My SIL had 1 daughter who is 17 years old. Our kids are young. My MIL doesn't "get" our 9 and 4 year olds. She wants to sit around a table and talk about the past which is very hard for our kids. Their relationship with our kids is strained at best. With my SIL'S kid she basically helped raise her and is very close to her. She is taking the 17 year old back to disney this year for the 4th time and has never taken our girls anywhere. She buys the older gchild expensive presents and gives ours small trinkets. We understand that my MIL is much older and simply not as interested in little kids anymore. We also realize that she is not as close to us as she is to her daughter because of distance and because we have our own way of raising our kids that she thinks is "new age" (think not spanking, education being important for girls). We are fine with the situation. It's not optimal but it is fine. [/quote]
