[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Millennial here in this situation. It doesn’t bother me that our parents live their lives and are having fun, what bothers me are the snide remarks about how much money we spend on childcare. [/quote] Similar situation here. Genuinely glad they are having fun, but eventually had to ask them to stop complaining about how little they see us and the grandkids, or how grandkids don't know them well. It is entirely their choice: they have turned down numerous invitations to visit because they had vacation plans. Which is fine, but don't complain to me about it. Happily, my MIL is the opposite and has helped us a ton. I'm very grateful to her. Grandkids have a correspondingly strong relationship with MIL and FIL, because of the time spent together. [/quote]
