[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents just got back from a three-week trip to (leaving out details just in case).  Meanwhile, my DH and I are in the weeds - have been for years -- with two young kids, two careers, a few SNs thrown in there with 1-2 of the kids, watching our pennies, etc.  Nothing crazy, but you know, like how a lot of young busy families are around here.  I am so exhausted I just feel like I can not muster up excitement to hear all that my mom will want to chatter on to me about with her trip.   Do I just have to suck it up and do it anyway?  Help?[/quote]

Yes, the bitches on this board have no empathy or see no value in extended family helping with child-rearing.  Which is sad.

Just tell her, truthfully, that you don't have time b/c your busy with (items 1-4) and you'll talk about it when you have more time.  Or invite her to email you some pics.[/quote] why would anyone want to help the bitches on this board with childbearing when they will be criticized for everything they do or do not do by their ungrateful, narcissistic adult children?
