My daughter is 2 years old, and still has my husband's Mother, but she is getting older and has some health issues,so she is limited in what she can do with our daughter. My parents are in their early 60s, and like to be involved from a "distance", i.e. send her a little gift here and there, but don't come and visit (they live in Kansas, we live in Texas) much, and have made it clear that they will not babysit her alone if and when they come down, or if we come up there. This last weekend was my class reunion in Kansas, and we had to leave my daughter down here in Texas because they did not want to keep her for the weekend. They haven't seen her since Christmas! This hurts me deeply, but I know I will never change them. I'm trying not to let it eat at me, but it's difficult, especially when I see all my friends' parents JUMP at the chance to get their hands on their grandkids. How do I cope??
