I'm sure there are way more family issues involved that just what you posted so it's really hard to have an objective opinion here.

Does your mom not understand that the stuff in her yard is dangerous for kids and they need someone to watch them all day? You could explain this to her and tell her that this is the reason for you not wanting the kids to be up there and it has nothing to do with her, unless it does of course.


It sounds like she is making an effort to get to know her grandkids. Kids get alot more from knowing their grandparents than most people think. I know I don't really get along with my IL's but my kids love them.

So maybe just explain to her why the kids couldn't come and leave it at that. Tell her you really appreciate the offer and the kids enjoy visiting with her. Give her something to feel good about.

And I'm wondering why there wasn't a party if she said there was going to be one?

Family relationships can be very difficult for alot of people.
