Today DH and I took ourselves up to elder DD's house, about hour and a half journey. Took them all out for nice Sunday lunch to celebrate DD's birthday. Made and took with us a big chocolate birthday cake and other bits and pieces for tea, chocolate for the grandkids, etc. Took her some pretty nice presents which she was very pleased with. And then she tells me she won't be coming to visit next Sunday for Mothers Day. Not that they're going to son-in-laws' Mum's house, or anything like that. Just obviously doesn't want the bother of it.
I got a bit down in the car on the way home. Felt a bit unloved, and decided she was a selfish little so-and-so. But I thought it over during the journey and I have decided to say "sod it", and not care, or think about it anymore.
I think. "Oh fuck it" is going to be my new mantra from now on.
