[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe anyone is taking the mother's side. Insanity! She sounds terribly selfish (the "grandmas don't babysit - they visit" tells you everything you need to know about her in a nutshell IMO). I'm sorry you're struggling OP. I'm glad for your sake that you have a supportive sister. Many people in your position don't. [/quote]

I think there's a few vocal women on this thread who are divorced, would like to be divorced, or are planning a distant future divorce after the kids are grown. They themselves probably are cringing at the thought of their own adult child viewing them as selfish in a similar circumstance. Hence all the anger. Also, if you reversed the genders of everyone in the story (dad trapezing around with new girlfriend on cruise ships while his dutiful son took care of dying mother / dad lending no emotional or physical support to dutiful son and his spouse while expecting a red carpet rollout for himself to enjoy stress-free visits with grandkids) you'd have WAY different answers.

Next time, reverse the genders on this sort of post, OP.

OP, no matter what anyone else says, this isn't how family should treat one another. [/quote]
