[quote=Anonymous]I am beginning to think this is a troll, because the responses are so wildly inconsistent.  First OP is “barely hanging on” and resentful that they haven’t visited, and her issue is “how do you manage two family sides by yourself?”  Then she is “muddling through just fine, but it would have been nice” to have help.  And she won’t “call them begging for help,” which she apparently equates to *asking* for help. Then her issue is that she “can't stand that I have another role.  Then she “really need[s] the help, but I'm not going to get on my knees and beg,” which is ridiculous, because again, she hasn’t asked for help form them. She would have liked them to come babysit, but never asked them to, and is mad that they didn’t.  She knows that they believe she doesn’t need their help and doesn’t care about them seeing the kids, but again, *won’t ask for help.”  And to top it off, in her last post, she says that “I don't even really need their help,” and is just annoyed that asking them to visit is another chore for her (because a 3 line email is too difficult) and that they are “whining” about not seeing their grandkids.  She doesn’t think they want to babysit, but again, and sorry to beat a dead horse, she hasn’t asked them.

Yup.  Troll who is trying to tailor her story (unsuccessfully) to elicit the most sympathy.  Or, if she’s not a troll, she’s just annoyed at her ILs in general and can’t keep her story straight.
