[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible that your sibling's DH or DW chased them off? I know my BIL chased off our Mom when she went to stay with my sister when she delivered TWINS! Fine out if there's more to the story.[/quote]

I am the PP who was questioning whether your parents are retired.

I'd say this is a good possibility, too.  From what I've heard, few new grandparents seem to know how to help without making it all about them, or creating more work for the new mom and dad.  Some of them get run off with good reason, even if they have good hearts.  OP, you might not pick up on why your sibling/sibling-in-law might not want your parents around because they are your parents and we're all used to our parents special brand of dysfunction (Lord knows that I am!).  However, when a new family is going through a stressful time, people who - in any way - create stress can be enough to send a new family over the edge.  Your parents might have been asked to keep their distance and, being class acts, they aren't complaining to you about it.

They also could be self-absorbed a-holes.  Only you know for sure!  :lol: [/quote]
