[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My parents just don't see it as their obligation to care for my children.[/b] Their idea of spoiling them is to get several Christmas gifts, which really isn't that extreme. They have busy social lives and they love their grandkids, [b]but don't seem to see the day-to-day care as their issue[/b]. I wish they were more us-centric, but then, that's pretty me-centric to want, isn't it? In your case, I'd probably decline to show up at their house all the time and invite them over sometimes to play and have a meal. But there's not a lot you can do to convince someone that your life should be the center (or even very prominent) in theirs, I figure. [/quote] Omg, they don't see it as their obligation because it's NOT their obligation. I can't imagine thinking my mom was obligated to watch my kid. Day to day care is not their issue. It's yours.[/quote]
