[quote=Anonymous]I don't know what I am looking for, I guess I just need to let it out... My parents are weird, have always been- as in "have strange living habits and make kids live the same weird lives". At the same time they truly cared about our health and education, so i do feel grateful. I was mad at them for a long time, then I got over it and even tried to revive our relationship after my kid was born. They try to help but they are too weird to be of any real help. Anyway, I am now at the point where I feel I don't like them and don't want to talk to them. I send them a little money each month. What drives me crazy is that there seems to e no way of doing good things for them and feel happy about it. What they do is they gladly accept my offer to pay for something and then don't use it! For example, I helped them install Internet and paid a three months fee, so that they could see their grandson on Skype, etc. after three months, they just cancelled it, despite the fact that it costs maybe 1/15th of what I send them monthly. I also bought them a washer, but they placed it in such a weird way that it takes a lot of effort to use it, so I suspect they barely use it. The thing that pissed me off recently- I went to visit them and went to get my skin tags removed, and offered to pay for my mom, too. She gladly accepted but now will not go in for a second visit!!! So one side of her neck is in skin tags and one is not. Also, when I was at their town with my family, we rented a place and they would come visit every day. I thought they would play with their grandson, but if not prompted, my dad would just sit in the corner reading a paper, and my mom would help herself to whatever was in the fridge and talk some b-shit to me, stupid advice, etc. I don't know, I just feel stupid and helpless. It's like they don't really care about me, but on the other hand they insist that they miss me and grandson, urge me to call more often (which I hate doing because its the same stupid shit on the phone). I mean, can I just send them the monthly allowance and pics of their grandson and call, say, only once in three months? I would hate to be cruel to them but I also can't help but feel that they don't really care about me since they never call (only expect me to call), cancelled the cable service, and didn't play much with their grandson? They did give him small gifts and cooed over him and would take him for a walk if I asked, but they would always be late if I told them he usually plays outside say from 5 to 6, so they would come straight to dinner...
