[quote=Anonymous]I think I am different because I am not from the white American culture. I want grandparents to spend easy time with grandkids, cuddling them, telling them stories, spoiling them etc. I have never asked or expected the older generation to provide childcare or help in household chores. Even when my DH or I spend time with the parents or ILs, we do a lot of chores for them and do everything possible that they are not inconvenienced and their lives are a little bit easier. My aim is that the older generation remain independent for as long as possible and that they remain in the lives of my children for as long as they can. Taking care of my own kids, my parents and my ILs is the responsibility of my DH and myself. I cannot believe that everyone expects elderly people to be their slaves and are resentful. The height of entitlement is something else. [/quote]
