[quote=Anonymous]My parents have been happily married for 46 years and they help out whenever they can. They live 9 hours away, but we see them probably 5 or 6 times a year. They offer to help in whatever way they can- I had surgery recently and they came up for 3 weeks because I was off my feet for awhile. When they come up, they always offer to babysit so DH and I can go out. They urge us to do overnights, etc. The next time they're up, my mom asked if she could take them to my sister's (who lives close) for a sleepover. My sister has no children and I think my parents are accepting that these will be their only grandkids. My MIL is divorced (FIL passed away after their divorce) but has a long-term boyfriend. She lives half away across the country and is only here once a year. She does not offer to help out at all with the kids and my husband has said he doesn't trust her to watch them alone even for two hours.[/quote]
