[quote=Anonymous]OP, i know exactly where you're coming from. My mom died almost 13 yrs ago, and there's a huge hole there that has become particularly acute at times now that I am a mother myself (one 2.5 yr old DD, and a soon to arrive son--6 days til scheduled delivery). She never got to see any of her kids get married or a single grand kid but she loved children. She had always said that she would help take of my kids (I'm the only daughter--two brothers). As for my dad, he also moved on w/ a new wife. Fortunately, he lives overseas so I haven't had to interact too much w/ that. But he similarly he has been uninvolved. What makes it even more painful is that my MIL is a very cold woman and she gets to be the only grandma that my children will know. Upon meeting our DD at 6 weeks she immediately announced that she would not change a single diaper. We had never asked her to, but I have to tell you that it felt like such a huge slap in the face.
