Should I make the 2 hour trip for my mother in law to see my 5 month old son?

My mother-in-law worked less then a mile for my house. She would never come to see my son. However she would drive 50 mins once a week to go see her daughter's children. When I had my son she didn't even come to the hospital bc she had to go to her daughter's house for thanksgiving dinner. Now that my husband, son and I moved 2 hours away she wants to see the baby all the time, but won't drive here bc she is scared to drive on the interstate. I don't feel I should have to make the drive for her. Am I wrong for thinking that way? For christmas didn't get him anything but a card... no money in it. easter my son didn't even get a card. HOWEVER her daughter's children both got a $50 gift for christmas and $30 for easter. I don't think she is playing fair.

I would say most certainly NOT! It seems she didn't make much effort in the first place. If she worked less than a mile from you..there's NO reason why she couldn't stop bye. If grandma's want to see there grandchild trust me they will make that trip to see that baby! and she needs to treat all her grandchildren equal!! If she does for one...she should do for all! Sometimes it's a good thing that your not close to your in-laws..cause they can become to controlling. I know I'm there!! Good luck!

Reply:say no more...i have the same type of mo'n law...NO U SHOULDN'T...
Reply:I was always told you shouldn't put kids on the interstate if you don't have to, in that case, she's being a real butt, i think and i would let her come, cause it's obviously she's playing favoritism, so i wouldn't
Reply:Why not is it You son? people drive 2 hours to work and back home everyday, so why not spend 2 hours to see u own son?
Reply:No it's a pain in the *** with a kid that young. If she would like to come visit she should come....because it's less effort for her.
Reply:it's a pity some people are like that...





I would do it once to cover my bases. Although it might not be rewarding, just do it once. But if she wants to see the baby again, let her know she's welcome to come and visit, maybe even spend the night.
Reply:Maybe visit once a year for family sake.
Reply:No!! if she want to see your son she should look for him. That would be a real grandma!!!


Mothers-in-law are soo hard to get!!
Reply:She sounds like a raging *****!


I would not do ANYTHING to accomodat her.


If she wants to see him, then she'll find a way to get there!
