[quote=Anonymous]I'm not close to my parents. In addition to being very (over) reactionary to anything I tried to share, they also had a lot of personal problems throughout my childhood and continuing into my adulthood. It felt like they never had time for a genuine relationship or anything beyond logistics and checking the boxes on things like making sure we did "the holidays." They were always overwhelmed, mostly with problems of their own making. I don't make very much time for them, because they didn't make time for me or my sibling. I do the bare minimum and so does my sister. My advice would be to really be present with your kids and enjoy the moment. I always felt like one line item on a never-ending to-do list and I hated it.[/quote]
