[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would love an outside perspective on this. We have two small kids and only one other relative in the area. Said relative adores the kids and buys them things often. Relative (who's retired) often comments that we have our hands full (we both WOH f/t). Relative has watched the kids for us a handful of times in the past few years. [b]Spouse is furious that relative doesn't help more often.[/b] I find it disappointing, but don't feel we have a right to expect anything (though I admit to being a little baffled that the frequent allusions to how tough it must be are never followed by offers to babysit). Thoughts?[/quote] Spouse is out of line. Relative does not owe you anything. You are wrong to expect anything from that relative. Any help is a gift.[/quote]
