But I do remember times that they'd be at our house for the weekend and if they didn't get their way they'd want to call their mom to complain about how "mean" we were (and sadly their mom would egg them on-she dislikes me intensely!)

We all live in the same town. I always said it was similar to the way a child plays his divorced parents. Only their grandparents bought it for years. I'm afraid they caused a real rift between our families. Our daughters who are now adults tried to play us frequently against their grandparents. We all live in the same town.
