At least when the kids needed us, I think we got more out of it than they did. You got a hug or a kiss, or maybe a little sweet word out of them. Or even just the joy of looking at their adorable faces. I still get pleasure just looking at them, even though their sweet faces have a hint of beard. A cranky MIL that you’re doing everything you can for and it’s still not enough? That’s awful, not a good tradeoff at all. In my case, I can’t complain, my MIL lives a long ways away, is sweet and my H does all the work for her. But I can totally see the point, and I’m sure I’ll get my share of misery eventually.
