We don’t know your story . It must be heartbreaking for you and your young children knowing they are missing out on grandparents . I would agree find your local Christmas charity collection and donate . Some local churches also do shoebox gift collections. You just put age appropriate in your box and they donate to those children who would go without .

Its the inlaws who dont want to visit my kids! My dh has tried to get them to spend time with the and they always come up with excuses. Even when dd2 was born they were too busy to meet her!

Yes thats a good idea thanks. Its heart breaking for dh, it really is. He has had a pretty tough life with health issues since he was a young child and it has finally been stable the past few years. Having kids was only ever a dream for him due to his health and he is extremely proud of his kids. He is gutted his parents dont share the same interest in them. The joys of families!

How really sad
I know their view of the relationship is different to the one you want etc, but is there no middle ground here ? Life is too short Im personally not the doting nanny. Im just not. I send my son money ( a lot ) and do visit between my extensive holidays - but Im defo not the traditional nanny. Does not mean I love my grandson any less

I think the whole “life is too short” thing is why my dh has tried so hard for so long. There is absolutely nothing from them at all i’m afraid. I get everyone is different but they are not interested at all in our kids but will happily visit his nieces, take them on days out, take them on holiday etc.

You say there is absolutely nothing from them, but your thread is about dumping their presents back on the door step! So there is something, in that they bring presents. I don’t understand why they would be different with one set of grandchildren to another and think you (as in both of you or your DH) should ask them.
I daresay we are not exemplary an aunt and uncle as we haven’t spent a lot of time with nieces and nephews, but we would be distraught, hurt and mostly confused if our gifts were dumped on our doorstep. |
