[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This might be an inlaw thing/children of my son thing. We too have had 2 hospitalizations where my parents hopped on a plane to help us. My local inlaws did not because it was me who needed help and not my DH (DH is overseas). They think that my parents should help my family when I need help and they should help if DH ever needed help. DH has never needed help though as he's always gone. [/quote]

What?  I have two sons and I hope I am never this crazy when they are adults.[/quote]

Do you have a daughter too? Parents with both a son and a daughter always favor the daughter's kids. Parents with two sons seem to not favor the same way and are more equal. Just something my friends and I have noticed.[/quote]

This is so true. [/quote]

Not in my case.  My mother will move heaven and earth to help with my brother's kids because she is so desperate to please my SIL, who treats her horribly.  She has no problem asking my mother to change her schedule around to accommodate her childcare needs but doesn't ever make an effort to spend time with my parents as a family.  Yet she is always making plans with HER parents that don't involve them having to be babysitters.  It's ridiculous!  [/quote]
