[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your expectations are way too high. First thing I noticed from your post is that you complain that no one helps you change diapers. Changing diapers is an intimate event and it seems weird that you expect someone besides a parent to do it.  Seems like you could control some of the info vie Ce by asking your parents to organize themselves so that you are only doing errands once or twice a week. [/quote]

OP. I don't expect my parents to do anything (especially change diapers), but it would be nice if they at least offered. It would be great if I could get my parents to organize themselves so that I didn't have to run errands for them/with them, but it seems like there's a new need that pops up everyday! For example, on my parents last visit, [b]my dad cut himself and needed large bandages one day, and then my mom needed medicine a few days later.[/b] [/quote]

Seriously, are you a troll or just the most selfish person on the planet?  Do they want bread and water too?

You're criticizing the elderly, non-locals, who travel across the country to visit of not being "organized?"  Yes, I've often anticipated cutting myself so badly that I needed large bandages--so I don't leave home without them.  Just like travelers checks.

OP, you sound incredibly immature and self-absorbed.  I can't believe you "limit" their trips if they want to see the grandkid.  It would take very little of your time to help plan small outings while your parents are here, but you don't have to go all out.  Be glad that you have parents who want to see you and are interested in your child.  Hopefully, your kid will be a lot more kind and thoughtful as an adult--but only if that apple falls far from the poisonous tree that you are.
