[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents relied heavily on my grandparents who lived very close to babysit us for free, attend family vacations with us and paper half and cook meals for us routinely..... However, they do none of that with their own grandchildren.... My mom still works and says she is too busy and my dad is retired but has no interest in helping with anything other than meeting us for a quick meal occasionally. [/quote] your mom is working, so yea, she can't really babysit. And that generation of fathers don't do much childcare. So, your mom did all the childcare/houschores/cooking herself. Your grandmother most likely didn't work, and your grandfather most likely didn't do any childcare, either. So, your grandmother was more available to help with her own grandkids. Why do you millennials have a hard time putting things into perspective? -signed gen xer.[/quote]
