[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious and would like to receive some opinions on this from others.  What is the issue with my parents?  How do I handle them?  Should I stop asking them if they want to see their grand-daughter and just wait until they ask?  Based on their personality type, if I wait for them to ask and they finally ask, they will likely make some smart-ass comment to me and the rest of my family will agree that I was in the wrong for not asking them sooner, making their lack of socializing with their grand-daughter, my fault.[/quote]

Well, we don't know what the issue is with your parents. I think you handle them as you are now. Don't stop asking completely but if there is no interest, cut back on the requests. You fear of other family members making a "smart ass comment" points to an insecurity of yours, not theirs. They're weird. Not trolling, that's the way it is, and you have to live with it. We can't pick our parents.

Oh. They won't change at this age.

Again, not trolling. Just laying out the facts. [/quote]
