[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like the part where your parents fall down on the job is in actually pitching in, not in their level of concern. It may just be too much for them. My parents are just nervous around young kids. They love to visit and play but they aren't confident about being responsible for them even though they had a few of their own. I just accept that. You are under enormous stress. But I think you need to cut your parents some slack. They just aren't up for it. They've raised their children, they are older, and they don't feel they can take this on. The fact is that there isn't enough they can do, your family's needs are so great, so they will inevitably fall short. It doesn't mean they are terrible people, just that this isn't one they can handle. Find others -- friends? -- who can.[/quote]
