Having our relatives take care of our children while we work is a huge advantage, especially if they do it for free. But is it fair to expect this help from our parents after all the disagreements we’ve had with them?
My daughter, Amy, changed completely when she turned 18. She stopped caring about me and shut me out of her life events, like her graduation and engagement. Because of this, we barely talk to each other.
Amy has two boys now and recently reached out to me, which took me by surprise. We had a conversation, and soon enough, Amy started complaining about how hard it was to raise her kids without any help.
She asked me to babysit them on Saturdays and be a good grandparent. I told her, “You destroyed our bond a long time ago, and I can’t take care of your kids now.”
Amy called me selfish and blocked me everywhere. Was I wrong to refuse to help my daughter with the kids after everything that happened between us?
I would appreciate your input and helpful advice.
