[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In town grandparents get invited to everything: saturday soccer games, awards ceremonies at school, holiday parties at preschool. Out of town grandparents only get invited to major ones: the school plays, dance recitals, graduations. The issue with out of town grandparents is that if I invite out of town people I have to make it into a whole party and host them overnight. We have a graduation next month and while I'm happy they're coming, I'm stressed about what to cook and getting my house cleaned.

And yes, in town grandparents babysit weekly. It's definitely appreciated and we do more things for them because of that. [/quote]

This is so unbelievably unfair.[/quote]

What a childish response. You are going to be like op's inlaws and parents. Often we can't make things fair in life. Grow up and deal with reality. [/quote]

Are people like you just trolling for kicks, or do you actually feel this way about your families in real life?  Do you model this behavior in front of your children?  Are you prepared for when your turn as a grandparent arrives, and your kids treat you this way because that's what they've been taught is ok?  It's all just very sad.[/quote]

What is sad is how difficult it is for families now. Women still bear the burden of most of this and we are exhausted. People need to grow up and act like mature adults. When my relatives are unreasonable and act entitled to my time or assets, I get off the phone, walk away or leave the event. I would not tolerate a relative making rude remarks about others that are loud enough for everyone to hear. [/quote]

You really need to relax.  It's also pretty funny that you're so put upon and thing are so rough for you and you're so busy yet here you are wasting time arguing with strangers on the internet.  You seem to have carved out plenty of time for that![/quote]
