I’m going to give DIL benefit of the doubt and believe that her intent has been to cultivate a close relationship between the grandparents and the grandkids; however their response for the 4th baby makes me think that the grandparents have been doing a lot of childcare (and possibly at the detriment of time with the other grandkids and/or their own needs). I do think this is not a relationship BOMB, just a re-set as you suggested.

They are not her staff. When told about the fourth pregnancy, they took the position that that was a lot. We don’t know if they felt that was a lot because they were handling so much childcare already. You do not owe anyone your labor.

I’m not buying it. There is way more here. This didn’t come out of the blue.

I think this is great advice. Tough to tell how long the “on call” expectation was but it’s unrealistic to expect anyone who’s not being paid for it to be available around the clock for anything you need for an extended period of time. I think perhaps parents interpreted as we’re on call for emergencies (e.g we’ll find away if you’re in a jam regardless of what we’re doing) which is different than clearing your schedule on demand to accommodate things like scheduled appointments

The in laws probably quietly were getting overwhelmed or maybe disagreed with the number of children the daughter in law was having. They were being good and keeping it to themselves. They were probably thinking they always ask us for help and now they are gonna ask more

How many children does their daughter have? I feel like their reaction to a forth child is them thinking 4 is too much for them to look after when needed.

I'd definatly think of this as relationship reset. I'd take the comment about the 4th child and the refusal to help with the appointment and run nicely with it.

why would the in-laws say it like that? are the parents having to financially help this couple and don't feel they should have more children?? did the in-laws have a bunch of grandkids and maybe just were overwhelmed with expecting another one??

Once people show you who they are and how they feel about you believe them.
