[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems like such a common story. Anyone have any ideas what these parents/in-laws/grandparents were like as parents? Did they just drink martinis and act helpless or does this come on in later life? I need to plan....[/quote] They were unhappily married for 35 years. What's funny is that pre-kids, I really enjoyed them because they liked having a good time (i.e. restaurants, going out for drinks, dinner parties, going to the theater). It's just post-kids when it became evident they were kind of a hot mess. DW's issues with her parents seem to stem from them not doing the "hard parenting" stuff when she was a kid/teenager. They were self-involved in their own misery of each other, DW and her siblings were left to fend for themselves. DW is doing better and is expected to take a full recovery and return to work this week. She and I were both in agreement, no more IL "help."[/quote]
