[quote=Anonymous]When parents are too busy, stressed, or otherwise unable to be good parents (addiction, divorce, sickness, etc.) - kids have stronger relationships with the functional family members who fill the parental role. I’m not thrilled with the lack of participation of either my family or my husband’s family with our kids, but I’m also happy that we are happy and functional independent of them. We can stop romanticizing the “involved” grandparent when their involvement is solely because the parents are dysfunctional. Those nanas and pop pops would be in Florida too, if their kids could just get their sh$$ together!![/quote]
