[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you took the week off work to be with them then you have the right to feel irritated. I get it, I know how hard it is when your parents say they want to be grandparents badly [b]and then don’t help out[/b]. [/quote] So … your definition of being grandparents is they must supply labor?[/quote] If you think playing with and feeding kids is “labor”, don’t visit your grandchildren. They won’t miss what they don’t know.[/quote] I'm not a grandma, but playing with, feeding, bathing, and caring for grandchildren is labor! Many are happy to do it, but it takes a toll on older people. I don't think expecting your parents to be your babysitter is reasonable. Maybe OP's mom feels like she's been a caretaker already for 18+ years, and now she's focused on other types of work. While she surely enjoys time with her grandkids, it doesn't need to be 24/7.
