[quote=Anonymous]I have not read all of this, but want to say that if you are holding the other parents to the same standard of participation to which you hold yourself, and it is creating resentment in you, then you should stop applying your standard to them. Unless you know them well, you have no idea if they are overcommitted elsewhere (aged parents, demanding job, whatever) or whatever may be affecting their view of what "participate" means. It is unfair to apply your view of the world to them. If you can't do it all, then perhaps you should just ask them if they can do more and be accepting if they can't. If it is truly a problem for you, then back away and your child will have to do without that person. Frankly, if they are little, they won't notice little Larla is missing pretty quickly. If you aren't asking, then your resentment is all created by your actions, not their action or lack of action.[/quote]
