My birthday yesterday and I know I should not be disappointed but my eldest son only wished me happy birthday via a speaker phone conversation to his wife while she was picking up our granddaughter. My daughter in law is so thoughtful and did a present from my granddaughter of my favourite chocolate and cards plus Connie the caterpillar small cakes with candles on and it was lovely, Not a present from my son at all present in all worth £3 at the most from whole family, This is the child my husband looks after full time at the moment except for two mornings a week at a detriment to him starting to go back to work after a long term illness( offered work and turned it down to look after grandchild) They also did not buy my husband a birthday present despite looking after granddaughter two to three days a week and when she is ill and the other child minder options are close to them, for over two years without charging them. Who would charge to looking after the grandchild after all Feeling so upset but is this what as grandparents we need to accept. My son and daughter in law are not on the poverty line and earn more than me who supports my household on one income and I do appreciate their mortgage cost are high but I had the same problems when my children were young and still thought about the people providing support. I do not want extravagant gestures but a three pound bunch of flowers from my son would have been nice. So upset
Am I being unreasonable
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
