[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. The distance has gotten worse with grandkids. I think they don't agree with a lot of our parenting choices. I feel really bland and boring when I'm at their house, whereas at home I have friends and am animated and fun. I'm just not interesting to them, so I don't even try anymore. [/quote] I think this is normal! I have a million friends and I don’t think my in laws have ever asked me a single question about myself! I just look at it as family for the kids and enjoy the distance. I bring books and my kindle on family trips and focus on building the relationship between my children and their grandparents and aunts and uncles. Since lowering my expectations to basically zero I am in a much better place with them! I suggest it! [/quote]
