Mil prefers to have lo sit on her lap and cuddle - which lo hates these days so mil gets annoyed :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610844 Sat, 03 May 2014 15:21:59 +0000 MrsF 1610844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They all do. My parents more than my ILs though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610842 Sat, 03 May 2014 15:16:39 +0000 yellowbird 1610842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both sets do! They love playing with her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610819 Sat, 03 May 2014 14:23:03 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1610819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and FIL do, my dad not so much, but I think it's partly because he's fairly old and afraid he might drop her or something. He plays with my nephews more, but they are older. My MIL is suuuuppppper reserved and is always happy to hold her if I ask, but never comes over and picks her up or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610754 Sat, 03 May 2014 12:52:33 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1610754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Somewhat yes, but they mostly prefer to read them books. But my boys are exhausting so I don't blame them! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610744 Sat, 03 May 2014 12:46:39 +0000 nana87 1610744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dd is only 4 weeks old, so "playing" at this point is really just holding her! my parents are super hands-on, as is mil, but fil--not so much. he's not in good health though and very frail, so I wonder if that's why, like if he's afraid he might drop her, but he's also fairly formal and more traditional though than my dad </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610742 Sat, 03 May 2014 12:46:23 +0000 Caly 1610742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, they love playing with them. My dad comes over once a week (sometimes twice) to give my husband a break since he stays home with them. My dad loves coming over, he plays and even gets on the floor with them. He's in his mid 60's so getting back up isn't always the easiest I'm sure. Heh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610737 Sat, 03 May 2014 12:44:05 +0000 lamariniere 1610737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My father does and my MIL does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610728 Sat, 03 May 2014 12:37:04 +0000 Tidybee 1610728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My inlaws drop everything to play with DD every second they are around her. My parents do not. They're happy to see her and will play for a bit but then would prefer to go on their own way and do what they want. It's a little annoying when we go out of our way to spend time with them. They wonder why we don't leave DD with them more often, but I just don't think she gets the same amount of attention and interaction that she does at my inlaws. I haven't said anythign though.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610717 Sat, 03 May 2014 12:22:25 +0000 MamaMoose 1610717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. They all do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610709 Sat, 03 May 2014 12:15:20 +0000 BabyMats 1610709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents do. Mil does too. The thing that makes me sad was FIL was never like the way he was with our lo with hubs. It was jaw dropping to see him dance and sing and play with him from newborn times. But he passed a couple of months ago and those are the memories we will be able to share with G </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610643 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:42:43 +0000 wonderstruck 1610643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents play with him a ton, and FIL is pretty good about it too. MIL has the tendency to just put him in the high chair and turn on cartoons :meh: It's fairly ironic since she was the SAHM who is now a stay at home grandma (she watches my nephew when SIL is at her part-time job) and is the self-proclaimed baby expert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610639 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:37:48 +0000 Dandelion 1610639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep. My parents do. My MIL just likes to buy them things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610637 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:36:14 +0000 Smurfette 1610637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents do. ILs not so much </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610632 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:33:24 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1610632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL plays the most with DD. Followed by mom and dad then FIL. My sister plays with her most of all though. She LOVES DD. I need to take advantage of babysitting services! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610586 Sat, 03 May 2014 09:52:41 +0000 Grace 1610586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. LO doesn't always let them though. The baby has ridiculous stranger anxiety at times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-inlaws-amp-parents-play-with-your-lo#post-1610585 Sat, 03 May 2014 09:51:28 +0000 autumnlove 1610585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our moms do! I think (hope) our dads will be more interested when our LOs are older. </p>
