[quote=Anonymous]OP - I actually understand where you are coming from. Some families are more supportive and some grandparents LIVE for spending time with grandkids and helping out. That is really nice when that is the way it is but you can't manufacture that. As you can see from the majority of reactions you are getting, many families aren't that way. The part I don't get is why you aren't more annoyed at your friends - it is pretty simple to explain to them - "yeah my inlaws aren't that type of grandparent, I need to line up a different kind of support" If you have said that, and they keep suggesting your inlaws, then it seems like they aren't listening to you. I would be a little annoyed about that. Also keep in mind with lots of help from relatives usually comes with a fair bit of commentary on parenting style, etc. It is pretty rare to be fully aligned on this, so you are escaping this downside.[/quote]
