When my husband announced that his parents were looking for a weekend to visit us, my knee JERK response was, "WHY? Were their other grandchildren busy?"
My husband was still on the phone with his dad at the time and I'm pretty sure he heard me LOUD and CLEAR, which I only half regret...
Yes, I'm still miffed that my son's grandparents show obvious preferential treatment towards their other grandchildren. So miffed, that I haven't gone back to visit all summer... nor have I bothered to call them. They're my husband's folks. He can call them.
I realize that I'm not their favorite daughter-in-law and with bad behavior and snide comments like that, I really don't blame them, but it's another thing entirely when you take my kid for granted.
I applauded them for their efforts, but seriously... you could count the times they've paid my son a visit on ONE HAND. For people who make an annual trip to Dallas for a football game in the fall and come down for spa days and conferences throughout the year... That's pretty bad.
