Anyone else got self absorbed parents who don’t give a shit about their adult children?

Not me actually, but DH. His parents are so self absorbed!! Never ask about us. When we do see them they talk constantly about themselves, their extensive holidays and their fucking avios points. We ask lots about their lives. They ask us nothing. It’s so dull. Anyone else?

My ex husband's parents were exactly like this
I wasn't sad when they stopped contacting me immediately after he left

Yes, mine are like that. Totally self absorbed and it's all about them. It's exhausting and why I am fairly low contact.

My in laws talk about all the neighbours kids. Think they know more about them than us. What car the neighbours have, their new jobs, very bizarre. No interest in their own son or grandchildren

My FIL after my MIL died showed no interest in his children or grandchildren. If we ever invited him round for the evening or for a meal he would usually end up asking to change the day at short notice because he got a better offer from one of his many friends.
He was OK to my DC, but never showed any interest in what they were interested in. However he seemed to positively dislike my SIL's kids, couldn't talk to them without being snippy or shouting.

When he remarried, he was devoted to his stepchildren and their kids.
It was almost like he regretted his life before his wife died.

Jeeze that's sad. I hope you have other people who can cherish you in your life.

My MIL was 💯 the same. Knew everything about the neighbours DD and SIL, their jobs, health issues, pets and their child and told us everything. I had met those people once, never the grandchild. Never asked us anything or shower much interest in our lives.

I just don’t understand it.
