[quote=Anonymous]Being happy & healthy, not having some personal or marital crisis, would free grandparents up to be more involved, but it's not always so simple. My parents help out as they can and they put a lot of effort into visiting us from afar. They're able to do that because they don't have a crisis going on at home that requires their full attention. My ILs, on the other hand, have tried to help but they've got a lot going on in their lives, and in their marriage, that require them to stay where they are and to focus on their own issues. It's not as simple as being happy or unhappy, healthy or sick, etc - it's also a matter of circumstance. So we try to keep them involved even though they can't really visit often and when they do, we can't leave the kids alone with them. [/quote]
