[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is not a child. She is an adult.  Most likely a spoiled millennial. We have people posting here who take care full time of their terminally ill parent, and she is resentful that mom won't watch her kids when goes has to go to visit a dying dad? Once again, it is all about OP, mom is not sympathetic, nobody is helping me, this sucks....  You know what sucks? Listening to entitled OP and how she and her sister are piling up blame on their mom. "Mom isn't there for us during this hard time, mom won't help, mom won't do my homework...."  Grow up people, stop whining.[/quote]

Most parents love their children in adulthood just as much, PP. Not acknowledging OP's situation and making demands is just awful. [b]I can't believe there are mothers there who can justify this.[/b]

I don't think most mothers think this way.  It's the same few divorced posters and posters in miserable marriages who keep responding.  They don't like that their children are entitled to their own view of their parents divorce and post-divorce behavior.  What keeps these miserable marrieds going on a daily basis is the belief that they're doing the right thing by suffering through their marriage until the kids are out of the nest.  They need to believe that their poor choice of spouse won't be an issue one day, and that it won't impact their relationships with their children or their grandchildren.  They raised their kids and now their kids are supposed to be eternally grateful, because...resiliency!  Therefore, they don't like ANYTHING that challenges the assumption that their suffering is enough to save them from their kid viewing them as selfish or whatever.[/quote]
