[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing about there comments is passive aggressive. They are literally offering to care for your children! [b]Why don’t you take them up on it??[/b]

You and your husband can plan a nice getaway and leave the kids with your parents. What a fabulous gift! Yes, the logistics are slightly more complex, but really - it’s slight. Can they drive to the airport to get your kids? If so, that’s a red herring!!

The fact that you’re not seeing this as a gift says that either 1) you’re leaving something big out about your parents (oh, actually, they were pretty verbally abusive to me as a kid) or 2) you’re still stuck in the teen/early 20 something place of “ugh, my parents are so annoying. I can’t believe they live somewhere so lame” in which case, grow up![/quote]

Because OP has her life to live and driving multiple hours to her parents' house is not part of it, especially as they're not close. What's so hard to understand about that? This is on the grandparents. If they truly prioritized grandkids, they wouldn't have moved to Podunk.

I would like nothing more than to care for any grandkids that show up in the future, and I will plan my life in consequence.

DP  and this is BS.
I grew up in major metropolitan city.
One set of grandparents lived in the country, country  and I spent lots of time with them. If you don’t think exposing kids to drugs deferent areas and life styles is not on your bucket list then too bad for you.
