[quote=Anonymous]I have found that, just like bad bosses, bad grandparents will behave EXACTLY the same way their parents or in laws treated them when they were adults with kids. No matter how nonsensical or rude or selfish.

For example, my in laws stopped going out on dates since the babysitter grandparents demanded they be served dinner before starting to watch their grandkids!
Guess what?  These same in laws now demand that of us.

My in laws also had their tiny summer house bunked up with $hitloads of relatives sleeping everywhere, eating everything and not cleaning up after themselves all summer long. 
Guess what? These same in laws do the same thing whenever they visit us for a couple weeks. It's like a game to see if they can make it 2 or 3 weeks without opening their wallet at all.

My in laws's parents were cheap and made everyone pack and eat the same sandwiches every day on vacations or road trips. Then when they died each adult kid inherited $1.5M.  
Guess what? Same damn thing when our in laws are around - eat your sandwich guys, don't try any restaurants or exploring. Meanwhile, their 6 rental properties, 20 years of ESOP stock, and baby boomer investment account sits waiting. Waiting for them to enjoy it? No, much more fun to be cheap and make others pay for you.
