[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are not going to get any compassion or support for this issue on this board.  I have tried.  You are going to get a bunch of people telling you--sometimes in very nasty terms--that you should raise your own kids and are a terrible person if you think that grandparents should, you know, take any sort of interest in your kids rather than talking incessantly about their social activities and pickleball games.

I have no advice.  We have distanced ourselves from our families because they just do not care about us or our kids.  [/quote]

+2.  All of this.

It's particularly hard to swallow in our case as our parents had SIGNIFICANT help in raising us: pick ups, babysitting, taking us for weeks at a time and for vacations etc.

I had a mastectomy a couple of years back and not one of them came to visit or help. Not even my own mother, who is a retired nurse.

A PP here who has very uninterested parents as well. I am sorry. I see you. If I knew you I would have helped you for your recovery. I hope you are well. [/quote]
