[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This post could have been written by my SIL. She is a SAHM and spends tons of time with her own parents with the kids but isn’t proactive about seeing my parents ever. My brother works long hours and travels for work, and SIL makes the schedules for the kids and determines how they spend their time. OP’s in laws shouldn’t always be the ones who have to travel to see their grandkids. She should prioritize her kids seeing both sets of grandparents because nurturing relationships with both sides is important for her kids. OP sounds pretty selfish, honestly. [/quote]

No. Your family sounds nuts.

A SAHM is not a 24 hour job. Does your brother work 24 hours?  No, he does not.

Traveling and staying over at in laws is work, not vacation.

There is a comfort in staying over at your parents that is absent when you stay over at in laws. There are things that OP can easily request or even demand from her parents to make her stay comfortable that she cannot ask of her in-laws.

[b]Your brother is not too busy to take his kids to his family.[/b] Having a stay at home wife does not mean he gets to abandon his love to spend time with his family. Your parents should have raised a son who cared more about them. [/quote]

You need to be honest with this. The wife will then complain husband is not spending enough time with just them at home since he is gone all day at work and the ILs are stealing her time. [/quote]
