[quote=Anonymous]My parents are local and live down the street. It’s basically life changing and they are so helpful. When dhs and my jobs hit the fan, they are there to help. We have weekly dinners with them, Dh helps them with anything that needs fixed, and I also just hang out with my mom a lot even without kids.

My MIL said something the other day and I can’t stop thinking about it. She said they never wanted to move closer to their kids because kids don’t need their parents anyways and wouldn’t spend time with them. She’s so lonely and always begging us to visit but won’t bother to visit us, let alone help us. I guess I couldn’t relate because we do spend so much time with my parents since they are local. She’s totally fine with my parents doing the heavy lift. She also thinks she deserves all major holidays instead of my parents since we see my parents more. Umm no? We split holidays 50/50. Except for Christmas, which we spend at home with anyone who travels to us. Our siblings have come, aunts, uncles, cousins, but never my in-laws because they want us to come to them. [/quote]
