My parents, who dreamed so much about grandchildren, went so far as not to know their grandson because they are still very busy. The child is 3 years old and has seen them no more than once a year. We rarely hear each other on the phone. As a result of these circumstances, my wife and I took great offense and stopped looking for them without telling them that we were angry and accordingly they did not call. Before, when I had no children, they constantly complained that they wanted grandchildren. When I told them they would have a granddaughter, they were happy to heaven. The child was born, and they became very busy, both retired and tending the village garden. They complain about how busy they are with the garden and when I ask them why they are trembling they say that they still enjoy it. When we take the child there, they shout at him not to walk, not to step on it, if the ball falls into the flowers, it becomes a problem, they are angry that the child has scratched the tiles with chalk, and when the child is meek and does not disturb them in any way, they do not pay any attention to him. My grandmother reads the yellow newspaper, my grandfather prefers the company of the village goatherd and my wife is constantly rushing to give birth to more grandchildren. I wonder what they are for Maybe brag to people? I must also mention the reason why we visit them so rarely, apart from the already mentioned, my sister has 3 children and they actually look after them and they are obviously fed up with donkeys and children and this is probably why this attitude towards mine. They visit them almost constantly, they raise them from babies, the big one is already 9, the little one is 4 and when they are their guests we don't go because there is no place. And they are almost constant and so we remain on the periphery. They do not look for us because they are busy with them and when their parents take them and they take care of the garden.

I have exactly the same problem with the difference that my parents work. But they always find time for my brother's children, they raised them from their babies and still look after them, mine have already grown up, but they never take them. I have no idea why, but they are definitely very attached to my brother's children and mine is a bit like a heavy duty. It was bad for me in the first years, then I decided that there was no point in getting nervous about things I couldn't change. And I can't be angry with them because they are my parents and they raised me.
