[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry to say this but you're expectations are too high. You already see them more than more people.  Although you are invited, during the weekday it is an intrusion. There so many things to do, working, commuting, making dinner, cleaning, bedtime routine, and on top of it, you coming over is not added value, (making fancier meal, entertaining you). You inviting them over versus they (working parents with no time) inviting you over is completely different.  For working parents the way to see them more is to assist in picking up the child, offering to babysit or take them to doctor's appointments, driving them to school, or see them over the summer. My mother lives 1 mile away, she leaves us alone and does errands for us or watches him when he's sick or when we need a babysitter. Our time is so limited with our children, every moment counts and I don't want to spend it with parents, because it becomes all about their time instead of my time. Let your children be parents.[/quote]

Wow you sound super selfish and entitled. Nice that the only way your mom can see her grandkid during the school year  is if hes's sick or she's  babysitting. I can't imagine doing this to my mother. It's not all about you.[/quote]

Sounds more like PP is incredibly busy. This is how the world has become. People are necessarily selfish and stingy with their time because shit doesn't get done otherwise. It'd be wise for parents to understand this and throw themselves into their kids' lives. It benefits them too, because they see and get closer to their kids and grandkids.[/quote]
