[quote=Anonymous]I don't have the easiest relationship with my mom but I will do a lot to make her an my dad happy. Same with my inlaws. They are all really good people. Worked hard to raise me and dh and do a lot now to help maintain a food relationship. They are really the only people I can truly depend on. Surely I have friends but they are all busy with their lives. Our families are there and have helped in many crises. Now I sacrifice some fun weekend time to make sure everyone sees their only grandchild and we vacation with them and help where we can. I fully expect to shoulder some burden on their older age as well. Don't get me wrong, I gripe and vent about mom and mil being very silly and unreasonable sometimes but I know they mean well and it's a difference in expectations and outlook. I couldn't care less what someone (dcum posting notwithstanding) thinks I'm doing, minimum or whatever. Dh and I are doing what we think we should for our families. [/quote]
