LW sounds more frustrated than anything else, tbh Yes that frustration is expressed as financial support, and yes that can end up sounding ugly, but the parents created this situation by complaining that the LW with their YOUNG KIDS was favouring the more helpful and supportive in-laws.
Like: no shit sherlock, of course the inlaws who are there emotionally, physically, and financially are going to be a bigger presence in the LW ‘s life than the parents who want the LW to drag their kids on a road trip 4 hours each way to see them.
Frankly in this circumstance 1-2 visits a year is fucking generous.
