[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, OP. I think your feelings are justified and are becoming more intense now that you are becoming a mother yourself. I get the sense that your parents, unfortunately, are yes, selfish, and likely were never that into being parents to begin with. Do you happen to know why you are an only child? Did they try for more and it didn't work out or did they have one and agree that the parent thing wasn't really something they wanted to prolong with more offspring? People are wired differently. I guess what I'd suggest is getting therapy to make peace with how this is all working out (limited grandparent involvement) and remind yourself how you felt so when you child(ren) grow up you don't turn into a checked out Ahole of a parent/grandparent. One word of caution...selfish people like your parents are pretty easy to predict...one of your parents will inevitably pass away and the remaining parent will suddenly expect to be a big part of your life.
