[QUOTE="Andy, post: 178308, member: 5096"] I am going to address the family support issue. It sounds that sister in law is jealous of you and your kids. Moving so kids can spend more time with grandparents is great but to do so as a "competition" to spend more time with grandparents than cousins do is trouble. I would guess that sister in law is jealous of any attention mother in law gives to difficult child. If mother in law states, "difficult child is on medication ....." sister in law is being childish and saying, "Oh, that is just to get attention. He doesn't need it." thus opening up a discussion. Whatever mother in law and sister in law are talking about, they sure are not taking care to know which little ears are overhearing. sister in law's 10 year old daughter has no business hearing any of this! She will use it to make her cousin's life miserable. Time to stop telling mother in law and sister in law anything. It is proving to be bad for difficult child when they have information. If you feel you have to explain, tell them, "difficult child's medical issues are private. It is very important that the other kids know nothing about these things. Since you are discussing difficult child in front of the other kids, you do not get to know new information." Otherwise, just stop giving them info. Always say, "difficult child is doing fine" There are many details about my difficult child's struggles that I do not go into with extended family because I feel they will be judgemental. I have had a hard time accepting his medical issues, I don't need my family to 2nd guess me. [/QUOTE]
