Youngest GD spends a lot of time with DD since her parents divorced, very amicably I might add, and we still regard her DD as our son in law as he is such a super father and person generally. Her older sister is away at uni. SiL and youngest GD have been invited here often for meals - usually Friday fish and chips or Sunday roast - but on the last two occasions the invitation for her and her DD to come for Sunday roast, she hasn't even texted us, just left our SiL to say she's not coming. We've always been close to her, so we thought, and SiL loyally says "she's 16 now, making her own choices, even voting in elections this week in Wales, so I can't make her". Am I over reacting to think that he could have emphasised to her that her grandparents would be so disappointed if she didn't come with him? I know 16 can be a difficult age, but feeling like a redundant grandparent isn't a nice feeling.
