My mom has always been supportive of her kids living in different cities but her only two grandchildren are far away and just last night we were talking about how hard that is (especially since she lives in Utah where so many of her peers have tons of grandkids close by). I am going to send her this. But I'm wondering, do you have any recommendations in a situation where the in-law (daughter-in-law) significantly favors her own family in terms of time (trips home), phone calls and shared photos?Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17441379622104779825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-38069250807692807422010-03-21T22:09:49.184-06:002010-03-21T22:09:49.184-06:00I love your blog because it's so refreshing. ...I love your blog because it's so refreshing.

My oldest grand is almost 5, and we go down to 7 weeks, but I know how time flies and very soon we need to be doing something similar to this.<br /><br />I love your point about being positive. My mother-in-law is the best at that, and was always excited about what we did as a family and where we went. It was a big contrast to my mother. We wanted to be with my husband's family because it was no pressure.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01405496874813879203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-25681215458414970982010-03-21T17:41:33.876-06:002010-03-21T17:41:33.876-06:00I love all those ideas--and I can tell you those s...I love all those ideas--and I can tell you those seemingly little things mean so much to the ones far away!melissa walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12867099932178504026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-23654327668007857262010-03-21T17:27:28.505-06:002010-03-21T17:27:28.505-06:00you are brilliant.

(It is usually a postcard from her home in Hawaii or a small gift.) I am going to forward this post on to her. I think a "Cousin Club" would be right up her alley.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01931656703800469915noreply@blogger.com
