This. Also note that many parents may not want GPs to post pics of their kids.

You dogs will do a great job protecting you from being homeless when someone abusive caretaker steals all of your money. Dogs don't care about you. They are just animals and they will gladly eat you if you pass away. Too many instances of this happening.


Can’t relate. My parents and all the other boomer grandparents are very heavily involved in their families. They do more child care than i ever saw growing up from grandparents.


+1. Everyone I know who has a grandkid is over the moon. My sister and BIL are spending NY right now with their baby granddaughter, staying at a hotel nearby and sitting so the parents get a break.

You guys are ridiculous. They don’t even want to see the grandkids. Didn’t care when they were born. Didn’t even visit me in the hospital when I was seriously ill from the pregnancy. Many Boomers are just selfish people and they don’t care about their kids or grandchildren.


That's YOUR parents, OP. I feel sorry for you. My parents and ILs were awesome!

Your parents sound unbalanced, OP. Have you ever had a real, no confrontational conversation with the about this?

Do your kids notice their grandparents aren’t interested in them? How often do you see your parents?

Well that is very selfish. They shouldn’t have had kids in the first place they don’t care about them. That dog is not able to care for them when they get old, so good luck with that.


Neither is their kid, too fragile.



Is it too much for them to pretend to care about their kids instead of treating them like dirt.

+1. Don't extrapolate to anyone beyond your family. People here like their kids and grandkids.


They don’t care about their kids and you guys are defending them. You guys clearly hate your own children or you would not be repairing this way.
