[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m one of the PP’s whose parents/in-laws don’t help. Someone asked who is to “blame” and I don’t think really anyone. We are not estranged or anything. We see them for dinners and holidays. They are kind to my kids and buy them holiday gifts, but they don’t offer to babysit or take them out for ice cream or even entertain them when we are around. They are just disinterested. The kids are girls and delightful so it’s not them. They are the same with siblings kids too. [/quote] I am sure that this was a reserved family with similar hands off dynamics even when you were kids. Some families are warm, close and affectionate and some are standoffish. This continues when kids grow up. [/quote]
