[quote=Anonymous]OP, my sibling's in-laws are like this. She chooses to be like hey this is a little nutty and I get a little giggle from it sometimes, but how lucky is my kid to have adults beyond her parents that love her so much? Incredibly lucky. Grandparents number one job is to be a safe place where kids are loved no matter what. Parents have to do so many other things - hold boundaries, parent, etc. I find it pretty sad that you make this a negative thing. Just laugh at the ridiculousness and be grateful for what you and your kids have. My grandmother is in hospice right now and she was a bit like this. Until a few weeks ago she was still printing pictures of her great grandchildren on her printer that I would send. She used to tell me she read somewhere that everyone needs at least 7 hugs a day and she would make sure I got those when I was with her. She was a gem and my heart and life are better for her - I knew I was deeply loved and that is a wonderful gift.

So, kindly - get over yourself op :) Love your in-laws for who they are and your kids will be way better off and more likely to have healthy relationships with you and their in-laws in the future. Relationships where they accept idiosyncrasies, give grace, and are not so hard on each other.[/quote]
