[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for posting this OP.  I have accepted this fact about my parents.  I always have to bring the children to them. They travel all over the world in retirement. Have a really nice retirement lifestyle.  It is just that building relationships with their grandchildren is not a priority.  I wonder since my parents divorced and remarried that that may be a reason?

So finally, I decided enough and I wasn't going to visit them anymore.  Guess what?  Two years have gone by and my children have not seen their grandparents.  So I bought plane tickets and off we go next month. I would like my kids to at least know their grandparents.

I have a sibling and at least my parents are the exact same way with my sibling's family.

So I don't have any answers but I will say I do find this hurtful. For the record, we are completely financially independent (since college), we are well-off, my children are well-behaved, my husband is a nice, quiet person . . . just have absent grandparents.
