[quote=Anonymous]Yes. Both my parents and my ILs had full time childcare provided by a combination of both sets of grandparents (who lived in different states in one case). DH and I were lucky to get the occasional Saturday date night when they were little but once they turned 10, my parents were only interested in knowing what they were up to so they could brag to their friends. They stopped putting effort in at that time. FIL has only met his grandchildren from us two or three times. He’s never met BIL’s children and the oldest is 5. MIL send gifts but takes no interest in her grandchildren. When we told her she was going to be a grandmother, she was annoyed at me for stealing her baby from her. She’s very codependent. She lives with BIL in his house now.[/quote]
