[quote=Anonymous]My ILs were in their late 50s when we had our first child, the first grandchild in the family. Even if we’d had kids 4 years earlier when we first got married at 24/26, I sincerely doubt it would have helped them be any more in touch with children, understand the hassle of traveling with toddlers, why a one bedroom place for 4 adults and 2 toddlers doesn’t work especially when they claim the one actual bedroom and there’s no space to both open the fold out sofa and put up two pack in plays in the living area, that just because a child is a girl doesn’t mean she likes princesses and dolls and maybe pay a minute of attention to what the kid actually likes if you expect a 3 year old to gush over your present to her since shockingly, 3 year olds have not mastered the ability to fake endless enthusiasm over a gift that has nothing to do with their interests, that opening the baby’s room and hovering over its crib while whisper yelling after it just took me an hour to get the baby down and you wake it right back up again muggy cause me to have a nervous break down and snap at you….I could go on and on and on.[/quote]
