You think OP CHOSE to have her parents in poor health?[/quote]

Presumably OP chose a career path that doesn't allow for nannies. That's a valid life choice, but a life choice. [/quote]

OP also chose to have children.  [/quote]

OMG. Please stop acting like people who were born rich or with hyper involved parents did anything to deserve it. They are just lucky. I’m fact the ones I know with the extremely involved parents are quite incompetent parents themselves and somehow seem proud of their laziness.[/quote]

+1. The ones I know with involved parents become so used to the extra help that it’s multiple times a week, weekends away every month, to the point where they slowly become incapable of independently parenting their kids. [/quote]

+2 My brother and his wife are like this. I honestly don’t think either one has been alone with their 11 month old ever. Two sets of retired local grandparents. They go away, they go out, etc.  I have twins, and everyone was scared to take care of baby/toddler twins, no local family at the time, no nanny, and DH who traveled and worked constantly. I love my kids but I am definitely bitter that it was so hard for me and they don’t realize their luck/good fortune. [/quote]
