[quote=Anonymous]My mother is similar. Comes to visit and wants to do shopping and lunches. Makes constant comments about how miserable I must be with the “crazy schedule” I have of kid activities. (Each kid does one extracurricular -neither of which is excessive.) She’s not interested in spending much time with my kids aside from getting the obligatory cute grandkids pictures to share with her friend group. I look at other people whose parents are involved and engaged grandparents and I just feel sad. I would have so much more time for her if she spent it with my family and my kids. We used to be so close but it’s hard to have a deep relationship with someone who isn’t interested in my kids at all or who subtly implies she resents them. I chalk it up to being a selfish boomer. Which is probably unfair. [/quote]
