[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So jealous. My mom is deceased, Dad lives out of town and isn’t helpful. Inlaws are local and friendly enough but not interested in kids.

I know people with TWO sets of helpful grandparents![/quote]

That was my experience as well.  I've always been so envious.

My kids too.  They hear about grandparents buying their friends Ugg boots for Xmas, Grandpa taking them to a Wizards game, Grandma and Grandpa coming to their sporting events and having their own cheering section, etc.  Mine never had that (they're teens now). [/quote]

Mine neither.  My mom will fly to her boyfriend's grandkids events to make him happy but hasn't been to one meet, practice or recital for my kids.  Its really sad.  My kids just stopped caring and don't want to see her as she has a clear preference for those kids and the comments she makes are really upsetting.[/quote]

Similar boat.   My kids are older (teens) but my father in law (widowed) married a woman with grandchildren of similar age.   Every year they visit HER grandkids for holidays, birthdays, etc.   But can't make it to my kids "once in a life time" events (high school graduation, confirmation, etc.) because HER grandkid's have a soccer game, or whatever "15 times every year" event they have going on.  [/quote]

+1. Her kids and grandchildren will end up with his assets. I’ve seen this happen several times. [/quote]
