[quote=Anonymous]Overall, I agree, OP. I have two kids who are now teens. marriage intact. In many ways we are very lucky, and one of them is that my parents helped a lot. My mom flew from CA to stay with us for months when our kids weee infants. Then they went to daycare by 5 months. My parents helped financially too. They have both passed on, and my husband still remarks how much more helpful they were than his parents who moved to DC! My parents were from India, where a communal family structure is still commonplace. it has its drawbacks for sure, but if you are blessed with good parents, it can be a godsend. My brother didn’t marry and have kids, so he took care of my parents at the end of their lives, which was grueling. that he was able to do that was a blessing too. [/quote]
