[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,  I think a lot of this is actually tied up in your grief over infertility. I understand and have been there. For me, I ended up having kids almost 15 years after my sister. By then, my sister's kids were surly teenagers and I got to have the adorable, grandparent-loving little kids. My parents now definitely spend more time with me and I spend more time with them than my sister does. It's all about seasons of life. Good luck. [/quote]

PP here.  I'm not sure how your post is helpful.  Basically, you are saying that eventually your parents spent time with you because you had kids.  OP can't have kids.  So where does that leave her?

I'm sorry, but it's crummy of parents to basically imply that if you don't (won't or can't) produce grandchildren, then you aren't important enough to spend time with them.   That has nothing to do with "seasons of life."  It has everything to do with crappy parents, especially if her mother knows that she can't have children.
