[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My parents live in another country. On another continent. They work for a living. My ILs have been retired for the past 5 years. They are not old or unwell. They are 1 hour away by plane. I am a working mother with 2 small children. Sure, let me pack up our stuff for the weekend. Have you traveled with young children? Probably not.[/quote] I don't see why babysitting YOUR 2 small children should be their responsibility. From a different state, no less. Seems like a real lack of communication and misplaced expectations...what did you and your DH think would happen when he left? Yes, they should contact you and check in more. But the day-to-day work of caring for your children and giving you some breaks is something you and your DH need to solve. I understand your frustration but you're saddling the wrong people with responsibility for a problem that's not theirs to fix. [/quote]
