[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No we won't ever be completely estranged.  Older kid has a wonderful husband who doesn't share her entitlement attitude and expects nothing in return. He will always stay in touch.  The older daughter has been married for some years.   The husband is so gracious.  He will spend hours helping me with various projects which I know makes older daughter mad.  Older daughter has young kids and both work full time and privately complains to DW that he doesn't have the time to help but feels bad about saying no.  She will often call after he's been helping for a few hours with excuses with why her husband needs to come home.  I mean he only spends about 20 hours a year helping us and I'm getting older with back problems.[/quote]

You don't want to buy them things but you expect the husband to help out because you're getting older with back problems?  Maybe you should spend some of your money on household help.  [/quote]

Seriously, why should money be tied to helping out family?  Why should I have to pay them for help?  We  bought them great gifts for Christmas though it shouldn't be relevant to getting physical help.  We bought the kids each an electronic gizmo game the guys sweaters and t-shirts and the daughters cosmetic purses and usb devices.[/quote]
