It doesn't change their relationship with the boy one bit, unless they let it (but something tells me that people who are that amazing about putting their attention where it belongs, i.e., their grandchild and not their deadbeat kid, are going to understand this just fine).


My brother and sister-in-law would just have to be adamant about maintaining their connection with the in-laws so that they would never feel shut out.
