[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is depressing. Seems like most adult relationships with parents here are one sided with the benefit going towards the "child". I am supposed to just listen and not speak in our conversations, pay 100% for everything if I want to see them, give financially towards all their adult milestones and be a free babysitter when they deem me worthy to watch their kids. Don't call too much or too little, don't visit too much or too little, don't try too hard to have a relationship with DIL/SIL because that makes you needy and be ok with them not reciprocating and never have any expectations of being called, visited, or acknowledged for being used to provide whatever they needed... This sounds like a miserable way to spend your later years after putting your children first for 20+ years of their life and they can't reciprocate even simple things. [/quote]

Self centered, self absorbed, narc child is present I see. You are the adult child I would hate to have. It’s a give and take relationship not 100% filling just your needs. Your parents are people too. Grow up and take accountability for having an adult relationship with them instead of an entitled spoiled brat. You aren’t cute anymore Karen. [/quote]
