[quote=Anonymous]If parents want to be present, it is incumbent upon them to get their butts to where the grandkids are. Too many grandparents have zero idea how busy lives are for young families. School, sports, and dual careers take so much time that parents can't just pick up and take the kids over to grandma and grandpa's for a quick visit. In our family, one set of grandparents tries and helps a little. We appreciate what we get, even as they act like classic Boomers and go on neverending vacations. The other set whines about not seeing the kids but refuse to move closer to us where their only grandchildren reside. On the other hand, I see grandparents who regularly carpool and take the kids to activities throughout the week. The difference within the generation is staggering, but it's probably always been that way. My dad's family was mostly useless and my mom's family was always around. [/quote]
