[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who is just outraged that neither her in laws nor her own parents will move to the area to help raise her kids. She thinks its incredibly selfish of them. I just have to bite my tongue when she says this and control my eye rolls. Plenty of people, me included, manage to have two working parents and no family nearby.[/quote] I think it's selfish too. We raised my DC without any help, and it was incredible difficult. I still feel resentful about MIL not helping while she could and had nothing else to do. Now when she needs help we do.[/quote] It's not that easy to just pick up and move. WE moved here - everyone else is back home. I certainly do not expect my retired in-laws to move away from their other children and grandchildren to come help me. If we were there they would do anything for us, but we don't expect them to relocate. That's ridiculous.[/quote]
