[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Raising your own kids is what's ordinary. Op, it would help - help you probably - if you turned your thinking around. [/quote] This. I know a lot of people with no extended family nearby. I also know a lot of people with extended family who live within driving distance and the family visits a lot and the visits a lot of stress to friends' lives because they parents are variations on unhelpful or extremely annoying to be around. So maybe they get a free night of babysitting out of it for date night. (Maybe.) I can find a babysitter and have a date night and skip the rest. And yes, I do know a few unicorns who have an awesome grandparent who lives nearby, is normal and considerate and great to be around, and watches the kid for free. But that is just not the norm. Focus on what you have, not what you don't have or what you perceive other people have.[/quote]
