[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to mourn that your kids won't have the grandparents you'd hoped they would have and that your parents aren't valuing you and your family enough to be connected in a way that seems appropriate to you. This is a sad situation, a lost opportunity for sure. Try and accept that this is what is, and make plans to do things differently as you age. You can be the grandparents you want to be and make different choices. That being said, it is completely unreasonable for your parents to expect a high level of involvement from you given their life choices. So be sure to set those boundaries and don't get sucked into rearranging your and your kids' lives to accommodate them. And this is a loss. The people who are telling you to grow up are mean.[/quote]
