Another HUGE problem is that the loving, caring GRANDPARENTS of these kids get dragged back into child rearing duty at the time in their lives when they deserve to relax and go fishing whenever they want!
This is becoming a very wide spread problem, didn’t they coin a term for this?

There was a show on 20/20 or something like that. The show went over how today’s generation of parents are lacking in responsibility and leave much of the parenting duties up to the Grandparents.

I am 35 and my wife and I have our first kid on the way. He will be born around November 19th. I can tell you this, if I were to become a slacker parent, I would fear the can of whoop ass my mom would come deliver on me. \:\)

Anyway, I lacked drama in my own marriage and have been spoiled rotten, so I expect I deserved this in some wierd way.
Sounds like the perfect marriage to me \:\)
My side of the family has little drama, actually none at all. My wife’s side is filled with it. She gets off the phone with here family and just starts shaking her head at the crazy stuff her family gets into. After seeing so many marriages go bad my wife and I sure are glad we found each other.
