My son lives under 2miles away, has a partner and 3children. We used to have his car in our garage- we saw him and Gson regularly, we would play with Gson whilst he worked on car! He has car at his house now- visits stopped!
We have new GD, seen her briefly once in 6weeks! We never get invited over, when i suggest we visit- son says he will let us know! I have tried inviting them to us but same response!
I dont feel like a Grandparent, they obviously don't want or need us in their lives! They only time we seem to be allowed is xmas & birthdays, son rarely visits unless we have post or he wants to borrow something.
I feel sad, my DIL doesnt answer texts or if she does after weeks of sending get the excuse sorry didnt see message- which when we are there phone is at end of her wrist!
Harder- her family are close by and GC drop in and out of their home!
We may as well live 200 miles away would probably see them more! My friend zooms her GC in Australia and gets regular photos etc. I am finding its getting me down and making me angry, what have we done?
My DH says we should just drop in but when DIL has chatted in past (when she fell out with her mum I was acceptable!) one thing she hated was mum dropping in without asking!!
What to do??
