My MIL recently retired- thought maybe she would spend sometime with her grandkids- but she schedules everyday with a friend. If a friend cancels or she can't get a friend to spend time with her than she will call me to see them. My SIL also thinks that its weird that our MIL wants to just see her friends and not her grandkids as a first choice. How should I handle this? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

aw, give her some time. she probably needs to adjust to being home all the time and maybe having adult dates makes her feel good. also, c'mon don't you sort of understand. if you could go hang out with friends and know that in the time in between you can hang out with dc, wouldn't you sometimes do that? i would, adults are the ones that are hard to schedule.

Why don't you plan a time with MIL in advance. Just because she is retired doesn't mean she has to make her grandkids her first priority. She is entitled to have a life. You should make playdates with her as you would anyone else and as she does with her friends. [ Reply | More
