Has anyone else had this problem? My parents and my husbands parents were so thrilled to have these grandchildren, but now they hardly ever want to spend time with them. My father and his wife live 15 minutes away and we may see them 3 times a year. My mother-in-law retired from her job 2 years ago because she "wanted to spend more time with her grandchildren", but we're lucky to see her once or twice a month. She also acts like it is such an inconvenience for me to ask her to baby sit, which I only ask her maybe 5 times a year max. My kids are angels when they are with their grandparents, so behavior is not an issue. I have taken it upon myself to go visit them, but then they act like you have just intruded on their day, so I have just stopped going. I am starting to take offense to this, especially where my mother-in-law is concerned since she used my kids as her excuse to retire and now never comes to see them. Any suggestions on what I should say to them if anything at all?
