[quote=Anonymous]I was surprised how important your family is when you have children of your own. But, my family is not the helping type. Both my mom & MIL are retired and live in the area, but they rarely go out of their way to help out. My mil has never changed my DC's diapers, ever. She interacts more now that DC has "grown out of the baby stage". But she rarely spends more than 2 hours at a time. They both want the postcard version of xmas. For this xmas, my mom gave Thomas the Train for a non-toddler. It was similar to the one she gave couple of years ago. She gave me the store receipt saying that she didn't know what to buy. I have come to terms with this while back. Just accept and control what you can. I really would have appreciated the help during the infant/toddler stage. Now that DC is little older and it's getting easier, I am looking forward to getting back to normal. I don't plan to play a big part in mil and my mom's retirement. They are on their own. [/quote]
