[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, cut them out. They are not family. Do not contact them and certainly do not maintain any grandchildren relationship. These are not good people.

To all PPs who talk about "well they are not your free babysitters", this has nothing to do with money. OP works, she wrote it herself. Emotional support is needed. [/quote]

Also babysitting is needed. Why hasn't OP hired one? She has the money, she said it herself. She specifically wants these people to share her burden by dropping everything and jumping on a plane. That's not rational.[/quote]

OP here. You must have reading comprehension issues. I can hire babysitters. That's not the point. The point is that people who are supposedly family do not show any interest at all. To me, that's incomprehensible. My family lives abroad, yes, and they check up on me. They don't make it about themselves when they call me. My parents have other grandchildren but they always ask about mine. When my youngest was sick with COVID, I got texts, calls all from my side of the family. DH side of the family? Radio silence. This is not how humans should behave. This is not normal.

So, to calm everyone the #&% down, I got a babysitter for this weekend. And blocked his side of the family everywhere. I don't need "surface relationships".[/quote]

Sounds like you’ve got it all together. Nothing to see here. [/quote]
