Good gawd - imho you are getting wound up about penny-ante BS. They don't tell you when they're going to Europe? Who gives a flying rat's arse. Are you their parent?
Count yourself lucky that they aren't running up your credit card bills or committing felonies. As for "helping out," why do you expect that? I got zip from my parents wrt childcare, mostly because they were in a different town and too old/busy to do it. My dad and mom, then dad and step mom *never* watched my son, and I never asked/expected them to.
Live your own life. Get off of facebook and quit minding everyone else's business. "Family" frankly means little to me. I go by actions not relationshiops. Many of my friends are my de facto "family." Blood is only thick when it coagulates and the stains are hard to remove.
