[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandmother took care of me and my sister for years and for free.  I can't even get my mother to visit her only grandchild and when I do I pay for it and she can't be bothered to babysit for more than an evening tops.  I'm also bitter because she will need financial support and soon and instead of paying a nanny it would have made sense for her to get paid to be with her grandchild.  She is just selfish and lazy as far as I'm concerned.  [/quote]

Your mom and my mom should be friends.  My personal favorite was when my mom and her obnoxious "boyfriend" drove 500 to MD for some bullshit thing they wanted to do and then called me last minute to ask if they could "stop by."  Then they ended up staying at my house for the night.  Oh, okay - so you planned a trip to within 50 miles of where your grandchild lives and it occurred to you as an AFTERTHOUGHT to "stop by?"  I could have killed her.

You haters should keep in mind that expectations of family help don't always come from the younger generations - they are often thrust upon the younger by the elders.  So there's that.[/quote]
