Anyone else have immature, MIA and selfish parents?

My mum has seen my 20 month old twice and my father doesn't ask about him or talk to him when he comes over. I'm now due with my second and both have disappeared (my father decided to go overseas yesterday), leaving me with no one to leave my toddler with while I go into labour and have appointments. I cannot wait to be a better parent to my kids 😩

Show your support

not my parents, but in laws almost never see her or ask about her.

It's so/so for my parents. Being a better mom to my children (no hate towards my parents or my husbands) is something I am driven by when they seem to always be falling short. My parents divorced and are kind of nonchalant a lot of the time, my husbands are over the top and bitter. I don't want my children to not have support trying for their goals and I don't want to be the cause of their pain if I can prevent it.

Here’s a scissors ✂️, time to cut them off. I cut my mom off and it has been just so nice and refreshing. 10/10 recommend

My dad is like this. My mom is amazing (they’re divorced).

Not really their responsibility to be your babysitter. And if they have only seen toddler twice is that really where you want to leave him while you are in the hospital? Have you not made mom friends or anyone else a bit more caring for your toddler? It sucks that it seems your family doesn't care, but it is their choice. I don't think that makes them selfish or immature.

@Katherine my dad sees him every week (but has gone MIA during my last trimester after having promised to be here and watch him). My mum has only seen him twice and I wouldn't leave him with her. We only moved to a new city a few months ago so no we haven't I'm surprised you feel that way, I hope your parents are better than this for you though x

My dad has never met my two boys!
