[quote=Anonymous]I realize this is frustrating, and some people are much better about expressing gratitude, but presumably even the "deadbeat" parents fed and housed one of you for 18 years or more, sat up with you when you were sick, drove you to activity after activity,may have helped support you in college, and on and on. I think we need to give our parents and in-laws more of a break. For example, I would never expect visiting parents on either side to pay for groceries or meals out. They've made the effort to come to us--which gets much greater as they get older--and whatever we do for them when they visit is a drop in the bucket compared to all they have done for us. It's great that one set of parents is so lovely to you, but please don't treat the other set any worse because they don't measure up.[/quote]
