[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lots of drama. Absolutely no help, even in an emergency. [/quote] Same here, sadly.[/quote] +1 We are taking care of my mom and my father is no longer alive. I really get irritated when people think that being near family automatically translates into guaranteed help. that's a very privileged way of thinking.[/quote] Agree. Both sides of the family live within 20 minutes of us, and they’re not that helpful. Just this week my husband received a life-changing medical diagnosis (it involves brain surgery) and my parents (who know about this) decided they were too busy to come over and hang with the kids for a bit so my husband and I could catch our breath before having to face down functioning during the work week. They are retired, so I’m not sure what is keeping them so busy. [/quote]
