[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my empirical evidence, I am going to have to conclude the opposite, OP: 1) My parents -- happily married, don't help THAT much, will help but definitely rely on us and trust us to be capable, confident adult who can handle ordinary problems as they arise 2) [i] My in-laws -- not happily married, are unhappy in their lives and their relationship, seek to find meaning in their lives by excessively spilling over the boundaries b/w their (unhappy) coupling and our personal nuclear family. Thus, it looks like, on the surface, they "help" a lot, but we don't want their "help" b/c it comes from a place of neediness in themselves, not a place of confidence and fulfillment.[/quote][/i] I think this is one of the exceptions to the rule. In general, though, I find that happy grandparents like to help. Unless, they are weird happy--like swingers in their FL retirement community. [/quote]
