Friends don’t interact with their baby

To start this post I’m well aware that how they parent their child isn’t my concern or my business, but it just makes me sad for their baby. I’m gonna call them Karl and Michelle (obviously not their real names) I’ve only known them for about a year and my fiancé and them have grown apart due to them never messaging him/texting back unless they need something and honestly that’s how they treat their baby. They don’t interact with her at all. She’s in her crib all day unless she’s being fed or changed, she about to be 2 next month and she just learned how to crawl a couple weeks ago. Karl tries his best to play with her and interact but he works two jobs from 6a-10p so he’s understandably tired when he gets home. Michelle on the other hand only works one job a couple days a week and spends all day in her bed sleeping or playing on her phone.My fiancé used to live with them and she doesn’t have any mental illnesses (depression, anxiety, and whatnot) she’s just incredibly lazy. She doesn’t really show any excitement towards Kasey (also not the baby’s name) . Her entire attitude is very ‘meh’. It just upsets me that Kasey is going to develop slowly for probably the rest of her life because her parents don’t interact with her or try to teach her how to walk/ give her the opportunity to learn on her own. Michelle could but chooses not to interact with her which It’s just ridiculous to me. Why have a child if you want nothing to do with it?My baby just turned a month old and she’s constantly either in my arms or in her swing. It’s not bad enough for me to like report them because Kaseys basic needs are being fulfilled, it’s not like it’s abuse. It’s just kinda sad to me. I would never say anything to them about it because how they parent is their decision, i just couldn’t stop thinking about it and needed to get it out somewhere. I’m fully expecting to get some abuse from the sub for being upset about /other/ people’s parenting choices but I honestly don’t care. Let me know if this breaks the rules of the sub and I’ll take it down. :\ via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2LlmURr
