[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. I can't believe there are mothers there who can justify this.

Are you a younger person or middle aged?  That seems to be the gap between opinions here. I am happy to help my kids as much as I can, but they are draining and demanding as so many of teens are in this area. These teens turn into young adults who are incompetent and don't want to work hard in any area of life. OP's situation might be emotionally difficult, but quite frankly it is not that physically demanding, she lives hours away from her Dad and only visits here and there. Drama is not the parents, drama is her's and her sister's. As for parents love their children forever, sure they do, but love doesn't have to translate into servitude. If her mom was miserable in her marriage, dad has no friends or family that will see him, according to OP, last thing she wants to listen to is her DDs talking about the man that either dumped her late in life or/and made her miserable till old age.[/quote]
