both parts. I am a young mother with a sister-in-law who thinks the same way about me as you do your MIL. My sister in law ended up telling me very loudly everything you just said in your post- she's the only one who does anything, she's trying and I'm not, I never acknowledge her family (just like you said your MIL doesn't thank you). All of it are lies. Pure lies. Not true about me at all.
I truly believe that your kids are acting that way because they see that you don't really like grandma. They sense that. There is no other explanation for this.
Aside from everyone's opinion, you know what to do. You should let them go because that is their grandmother and if it were my kids I would sit all 3 down and say, "look. You don't have a choice here. These are your grandparents. They won't be here forever. Make them happy and go and be with them for a night or 2. Mommy will come get you in the morning and I will call you later. You will do this. So stop crying!"
And let it be. You are asking us if they should go and personally they shouldn't have a choice.
I'm sorry if I sound bitter, but your letter here just sounded exactly like the attack I received from my sister in law about the way I live my life and it hurt like nothing I've ever felt before - and the worst part about it all was that none of it was true. Just her perception of me. Which is not truth. Perception is usually NEVER reality. |
Been there, done that. Sounds like a whole lot of miscommunication on sm - Hey
