[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are being unreasonably harsh. Imagine you have a friend who isn’t there for anything other than fun. Is that truly a friend? It sounds self-serving, and that’s not what friend OR family are. Why does this grandma get a pass, “because she raised her kids already”? This gives her the privilege of not showing up and then expecting to be catered to on her terms? I understand OPs frustration. [/quote]

It's not grandmas responsibility to be there for random dinners. She's not a parent. She raised her kids. She has the right to enjoy her life and her friends and not be at ops beck and call[/quote]
I agree. But it’s also not her right to be there at Christmas or Halloween, and that’s the issue, because shes acting like it is. [/quote]

So tell her Christmas doesn’t work, but she can come over on the 26th. Tell her Halloween doesn’t work, but she can come over the following weekend. Or whatever. [/quote]
Yes, this. Use your words. Op this is your family, you get to dictate who sees your kids and when.[/quote]

No she doesn't. Clearly. That's the part she's finding hard to accept. But go ahead and continue alienating and pushing away someone you wish spent more time with you as if that makes some kind of sense. Hey, you can't fire me because I quit!![/quote]
