Fortunately they both are so glad to watch him on the swings and at the zoo! Unfortunately Granny, my MIL, always has SOMETHING to say about his behavior. I just don't let it get to me anymore. After all she is all kinds of crazy. I think you should maybe try the same with your parents.

In the choices your parents are making to be "grannies", are THOSE the memories you want your boys to have of their grandparents? If your only memories of her are of a cold, non loving cranky old fart, then what does it benefit your boys to have that memory as well. Your boys deserve to be surrounded by love.

Like I said in my guest post for you, my mother in law drives me nuts, but I do know how much she loves my kids.<BR/>I totally understand your desire for your kids to feel loved by their grandparents, but I would be weary of making them be too close to people who don't necessarily want them around.
