[quote=Anonymous]Also, we don't give in to terrorists, at least that is what we write on the Political forum. Your MILs sounds like a terrorist. Does she have dementia? I am honestly stunted at so many posts about elderly people here demanding this and that and at this exact time. I am from Eastern Europe and all the grandparent I know, I am from a large family with many cousins, are always willing and happy to accommodate their own kids and grand kids. For example my BIL's mother wanted him and my sister to come over for his birthday, he said, sorry we are working and will be exhausted. So she came over and left a cake for him/them. Similarly for his parents' anniversary they asked them when can they come over. Bil and my sister work, his parents and my mom do not, so they will adjust to their schedule. On the other hand, it is a give and take relationship. When a pipe broke at my mom's house, BIL called a plumber, had people helping and even paid for it. My US FIL is similar to many ILS posted on this forum, I mostly try to ignore his nutso demands and meddling, but it drives SIL and DH insane. Like why is it such a big deal to eat at the BBQ place every week at the exact time that he wants?![/quote]
