Yes, I know I am, and I'm probably being mean-spirited and evil into the bargain, but really - they phone EVERY NIGHT to speak to him, and say night night. If they phone my mobile it doesn't get picked up, so they phone dh's (we have finally agreed that they are his parents and if he won't tell them to back off then he can blardy well deal with them!) as soon as he walks in the door from work.
Ds has been reluctant to talk to them for a few nights, and tonight refused point blank to leave his bricks and come and talk. I could hear that MIL was a bit miffed (they're on speaker phone) and I'm in the kitchen thinking, "FGS he's 2 - he spoke to you yesterday, he probably doesn't give a shit and Megablocks are just more interesting!"
At the same time, I feel a bit sad that they are being so pushy, as he will probably not want to know in years to come. I don't want to force him to have a relationship with his grandparents, but I do want him to have one, and I think that if they just backed off a bit he'd be much more inclined to talk to them.

AIBU?
To be secretly pleased that ds refused to talk to the IL's tonight?
