[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they baby boomers? My parents live in DC and haven't helped with a thing since i gave birth. I plan on asking my parents WHY this is. I'm interested in their perspective. They seem all about the take take take. In the past they've acted completely baffled if I ask for their help with something. Similar to OP, if I asked my mom to do the laundry she would act all flustered and want instructions and make this huge huge deal out of it. [/quote] Eh, I have Boomer parents and they are super helpful--they do laundry, make dinner, run errands, etc. And I've never asked. And while my FIL is useless, my MIL also pitches in. [/quote] +1 I feel very lucky because my (Boomer) parents are good with kids, know how to be helpful, and are not intrusive. My ILs are the opposite. I don't think it's a generational thing - just different personalities. [/quote]
