[quote=Anonymous]My parents send money / buy things if I ask (and often buy too much when I don't ask) but being there for events is not there thing. I'm due around Valentine's Day with my second and I knew better than to ask for help because my parents have a Valentine's Day party each year where they live (a few hour's flight away). Sure enough my mom told me "we can't be there to help because that's when we have our wine and dessert party and I'll need to be getting ready that week." My MIL would drop something like that in a heartbeat (but it's harder for her because she still works fulltime) while I've come to have different expectations for my parents. [/quote]
