I never phone my DD as it's always the wrong time and she never reads my emails ,saying that she gets 200+a day. She has a very high powered job. She has two DC whose birthdays are two years apart but on consecutive days. For the first five years I always provided cakes etc as she was away but recently she has been there. We have them most of the summer sharing with the other GPs . This year because we are concerned that presents we give are often never given to them,used as presents for parties for when they have forgotten to provide them for the DGCs to take with them or generally not picked up from the PO, we decided to buy and give them here. They still don't know about them!and the birthdays are today and tomorrow. The little boy has a very expensive luxury gift from his parents to which we've been asked to contribute. The little girl has been given a present which is the equivalent of buying school uniform . Tonight we phoned to wish her a happy birthday and found that not only had she had no cards or presents but the cleaning lady brought her a cake knowing she wouldn't get one and there weren't even candles. In the end my DH put the phone down on her. She said she had never received my emails saying things had been posted. I suspect that she knows that one child is favored over the other and she doesn't want to acknowledge it. I don't know what I'm asking here ,just to put something on paper might help me subdue the sadness if feel for my little DGD.
Shall we reboot our cartoons thread again? 😁
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
