[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family is in Europe. I and the kids (5,8 and 10) spend every summer with them. My mom come visit every few years. My DH’s family is about 30mins away and they are not helpful at all. Spend very little time with the kids.[/quote] This is my situation in reverse. My ILs are in Western Europe and my MIL is wonderful and a very devoted grandmother. She is divorced and is considering moving here. My parents live 60 miles away, and we rarely see them. It is not for a lack of trying on my part. They are just not interested at all. It is such a huge contrast in grandparent interest that I wasn't really prepared for my parents not to really GAF about my kids. But they are always with my sisters' kids so yeah, I take it personally. It is not as if they don't like kids, they just don't like us. I really wish things were different. My kids are tweens/young teens so they've noticed.[/quote]
