I asked my son about Christmas presents and was told that they weren't doing them this year as they had a big loan to pay back ( dil had op on her back and she borrowed from her dad) also one of his friends was getting married and another friend was having a stag do. This was after previously telling me about their active social life, weekends away etc. Both my ds and dil work and have no children. We are heartbroken that we come so low in their priorities that we don't even qualify for a box of chocs! They live over the other side of the country so are coming for the Boxing Day and staying the night. We are keeping our Christmas meal until then. Are we right to be upset? I want to say something but I know it would end up with him walking out and we'd never see them. We went over to see them recently and went out for lunch and we had to pay for ourselves! This is despite the fact we are pensioners and had to buy our petrol when they both get there petrol 'free' through their very well paid jobs.
