[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, my parents are wonderful, loving Grandparents and babysat 1 night -- total the entire time my kids were growing up. I am not resentful. My kids love them, they are great people. [/quote]

I don't relate. I think it's super selfish. Maybe they give a lot of money? Normally great people want to be helpful.[/quote]

This. I had the same experience. My kids are teens and I never understood why grandparents are now surprised that grandkids don't contact them nor are close? I mean how can you if you spent minimal time with them when they were little. Then they try to play the victim and blame me why your kids are distant. I literally spent 14 years calling weekly on videocalls to develop some kind of relationship, my guess is if I had not done that, we'd not have even heard from them except at holidays! My parents somehow thought I'll be calling them forever, without noticing that grandkids had grown up meanwhile. Well, guess what, grandma, grandson is 15 and has his own phone! My neighbors know my kids more than grandparents. [/quote]
