[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband's family is very close, and it's wonderful, but most of the time it's very much a two way street. They'll keep the kids so we can have a date night, and DH will go and clean their gutters or change the oil on their car Right now, because one of our kids is very ill, they're helping us more than we're helping them, but there have been other seasons that have been different. [b]About 2 years ago, one of them had a major surgery, and DH and I spent nights at the hospital, took them to every follow up appointment, brought them meals[/b], etc. . . . [/quote] That is what you are supposed to do because you are family. The care of your elderly parents is still your responsibility as is the care of your kids. You think the neighbors should look after your parents?[/quote] On DCUM grandparents are supposed to be free child care, maids, cooks, chauffeurs for their grandchildren but the parents owe them nothing,![/quote]
