I mean come on, you don't have to play with the kid, but at least say Hi to the kid.



Just curious, how old are you? It gets so much harder to do the kid thing when you're older. Especially if you don't have grand parents help. I know couples without any help and it's crazy. I didn't realize there are so many grandparents who don't want to help out.
This was my experience, we had my wife's mom involved for 1 year until she died of brain of cancer but my parents although they like kids just never spent any time with mine, her dad also never involved. We paid for daycare from 1-12, this is before any real type of subsidizing, it's the sole reason we only had one kid although my niece also lives with us now so I basically have two young adults sponging off me hah.

My parents watched my son one time for a night when he was maybe 4, other than that everything has been on us. In November we went on our first vacation together without kids since he was born, only took 18-1/2 years.

I don't regret having a kid, the comments about not really wanting to hang anymore is true in my case it's tough for me to get time with the kid and he lives under the same roof.
