Your parents really sound amazing. It gives me such hope in my heart to know there are actually great parents like this out there in the world. DH and I did not have that experience x2.[/quote]

I’m sorry.

The best thing about how my parents handled this, in my opinion, is that it helps maintain the relationship between me and my sister. We’re super close, our kids are super close, and there’s no resentment that she’s getting “more” because I am also blessed with plenty from my parents and they don’t make her an excuse.

On the other hand my husband has no meaningful relationship with his sister. [/quote]

DP and wanted to say your parents really do sound amazing. Neither I nor DH have had any help either and there's unfortunately resentment. I also agree that it's not really about monetary gain (which always helps young families of course), but more of no time/effort investment and strange high expectations of US helping. Feels a bit like a prized horse on race track, expected to always win and want for nothing.  [/quote]
