[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are expecting too much from your parents. Parents aren't there to help with your kids or pay for your kids. If you get that from even one side, you've won the lotto.[/quote]

I am expecting too much of them to be involved or even care about my grandkids at all?? That seems like a very low bar. I was not expecting them to do everything for me, but they are not even making an effort at all. I cannot rely on them for literally anything and they have the nerve to suggest that I should spend money on a nanny when they can’t even come for the weekend (occasionally) to help out. Thats fine if they don’t have money to help out, but they should. criticize me for not spending 4K+ a month on childcare when they are unwilling to help. [/quote]

It is almost worst because you have one set of grandparents who are over the top and one who sounds normal to me.

I would not hold this against your parents.  They don’t have to do anything.  They don’t.  Visits are nice.  They can love your kids and not give money.

I doubt your in-laws would thinkable badly if you didn’t.

Sorry you are unhappy - but your parents are fine.  They aren’t doing anything wrong.[/quote]

I’m not expecting them to give me money, but they clearly don’t care about their grandkids grandkid or they would actually try to spend quality time with  them occasionally rather than just  visit for an hour to take photos for social media. [/quote]
