[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grandparents are humans who would like to retire and enjoy some of their golden years. They should not be expected to provide free child care or financial support. If they do, it’s a gift, not an obligation. [/quote]

Thank you for admitting that you dont like children and find being with them in contrast to enjoying your golden years even for a couple of hours a year. Being with them is burdensome. Its obvious that Americans who think like you want to be anywhere except around family. [/quote]

I’m not a grandparent. DH and I raised our kids who are now in college. We do t live near our parents and they visited a couple times a year. Some were still working in their careers when our kids were little so we didn’t expect them to use their own vacation time taking care of our kids. We appreciated the family time with them when they visited and didn’t expect them to take over for us when they were here. Only my MIL is still alive now and we cherish the family memories, not the free work they did for us. [/quote]
