[quote=Anonymous]My parents abandon me when I was an early teenager, so my sister came to help me for three days when my first was born. It was a great help and comfort to me. I had no help for my second and third. I really didn't expect any. My MIL never expressed any interest in helping us. I put a lot of energy into bringing my kids to their house so they could establish a relationship. Now my children have grown up and I have a large number of grandchildren. They are the lights of my life. I was there when each was born and stayed as long as I could (I was still working then). Now I am retired and I see helping my kids with my grand kids to be my "job." I can't imagine putting volunteering in front of time with my grandkids. I get so much satisfaction from being with them. I think it may only be people like me who have had to make it without parental support who understand how important it is! [/quote]
