[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op: How to avoid thoughts of "you'll regret this when you're old and you need my help"?[/quote] I don't think this a quid pro quo type of thing. If you are going to start bean counting, you need to give them credit for taking care of you for the better part of two decades. You need to build your support network with the willing, able and ready (and may have to pay for it). Some grandparents are up to the task and some are not. Mine did a bait and switch kinds of thing and ended up being vacation ad holiday grandparents (with us doing more of the driving) and did not want a real relationship with thei grandchildren. Having SN grandchildren did little to change that. it is what it is. Concentrate on what you can do and what you can control. It does hurt and it sucks but it could be worse. Consentrate on your blessings. [/quote]
