[quote=Anonymous]OP--I posted the long response that you quoted.  I want to follow up on some of the other posters thoughts.  It is good advice to lower your expectations.  It sounds bad--like you are holding them to a lesser standard than you feel you should.  It is just that everyone is different and you can't expect everyone to behave the way you think they should.

I think some of the previous posters are wrong that your parents haven't changed but you have.  I know that my parents have changed in the way they treat me and my siblings today versus how they treated us when we were younger.

As the last poster who says "I don't understand what you want."  Anyone who says that either has never had kids or never had siblings who had kids or never had siblings and has no kids.  Basically, that person has always gotten the attention.  My guess, though, is that they have never been pregnant or had kids and kind of resent you and other pregnant people.  I was a little like that before kids.  Just ignore her... she is bitter. [/quote]
