Question about grandparents?
My parents are 62 and 70. They are not the kind of people who ooh and ahh over their grandchildren. They do love them completely and love to see them. However they are not the kind to drop in just to see the kids or take them to spoil them and return them home. My mom has told me several times that she doesn't like to babysit all the time. I understand this and don't ask. I think shes raised her kids and why should she want to raise mine too. I have no problem with this and am glad that she is honest with me about it. However, I see my sister and brother pushing the kids on them and almost expecting them to be the overly involved grtandparents. What are some of your views on the subject?
