[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand OP at all. I'm not a grandma, but if I end up being one, then I certainly don't intend to go cooking and cleaning when I visit my then adult children. Like what??? Your parents are not your maids. You're supposed to figure out your childcare on your own while you work. Billions of parents do this. Your mom is already cooking and cleaning at her own house, and then you think she should clean yours too? And cook??? It seems that you only work and ILs are doing everything else that normal adults manage themselves. Imagine coming to visit for 3 days and be expected to cook and clean. Do you do this when you visit someone???????[/quote]

I never expected them to cook or clean, my frustration is that they don’t even make an effort to pretend like they care about the grandkids. They visit then spend 90% of the time they are here not with the grandkids. They go to bars and visits local tourist attractions. They don’t even eat the food my family prepares for them or sit with the kids at dinner time. I’m just expecting them to make a bare minimum effort to spend some time with the grandkids while they visit not treat them like zoo animals that are only there for cute photos. [/quote]
