Why haven't you got a family messaging thread? They can make arrangements without you having to talk to them.

join the club! I stopped being the gobetween years ago, even now my three AC kids dont acknowledge each other. Stop expecting then you wont be dissapointed by their behaviour.

Can't believe you only had a text for your special birthday! Diabolical!

One of them called you a bad mother?!!!! Bloomin' cheek!! Tell that one to grow up to start with. hmm

In fact, tell all of them, you resign.

I make it a rule never to rise to the bait when one DD "invites" me to comment on another. Vague waffle emits from my mouth at these moments.

It is wrong of your AC to be doing this to you and the only way forward is to resist getting sucked in.

I do hope you will be able to resolve this. Maybe a clear statement that you love them all equally and that you do not want to be put in a position where you are required to comment on one of their siblings.

Hi I would like to hear opinions, I am trying so hard with my children ( all girls, adults with children ) I’m sick of being the go between ! One has a miff about what the others (or other one )are doing and I get the earache for it, this morning I asked them all to converse with each other and not through me as I was being asked ones plans for something another was doing . It blew into a full scale row culminating in me being called a bad mother ! I haven’t seen my two oldest grandchildren for 6-8 weeks although they only live less than a mile away, because I am now no longer needed for minding them. I’ve recently had a special birthday but because I was away I had a text off each of them and that was it ! I suffer from stress and depression but I don’t think I’m being unreasonable or selfish to have expected a bit more ! What would you think
