[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's representative of my parents. They are this type of selfish too.[/quote]

Mine too. God forbid anything disrupt their routines. I stayed with my grandmother in the hospital and arranged care for my children because my mom couldn't be bothered to look after her own mother. [/quote]

I have to agree with this. My mother has never been involved with her grandkids outside of the occasional lunch and family get togethers, but otoh, her own grandmother helped to raise us. Same story with my father. They just don't seem to be interested in being active grandparents, and that is their right. But it's al little annoying that they got so much help and support and area unwilling to pay it forward.

Now, my mother is reluctantly caring for her own mother in her old age, and none of her four brothers give them any kind of help, financially or otherwise. They have earned their millions, and they are traveling the world, ignoring their kids and grandkids and their own elderly mother, and are smug and proud of how they've been able to completely shirk any semblance of family responsibility. I cannot fathom being so selfish. [/quote]

Wow!! Such selfishness!![/quote]
