[quote=Anonymous]I am a middle-aged child and I have stopped talking to my parents at times. They are ultra conservative and are strange with my kids--they never come to visit but visit my sister and her kids a few times a year. They don't send my kids actual gifts but old items from my room. They are also really don't sound proud or engaged when I tell them about my kids success. My daughter is very academically advanced and my mom doesn't think AAP or gifted is good. When my Father in law died I called and asked them about end of life preferences snd all they wanted to know about was how much DH was inheriting. I sometimes feel like they are on a different planet. We just can't connect. I can't make them care about their grandchildren or me, so there is nothing to do about it. Talking to them and hearing about how they visited my sister just makes me feel bad. (To be clear, we don't have the financial resources to travel to see them. They are very financially comfortable.)
