Hi there, I see that this thread was some time ago, but I needed to reach out and see if others felt like me. I see they do!
I am mother to an only son, who is married and have one grandchild. I was feeling very hurt yesterday on hearing that they are going away for Christmas with dils mum, sister and family. No thought given to us at all, even though we all live close to each other. I felt so upset and rejected.
So I came on here and read all these comments and actually, I’m better off than many others, which I need to realise.
We do see our son and help with childcare, they all come for meals occasionally, and we have days out together when dil is at work. So I will try to be more positive and grateful??. That said, I know many of you will understand the feelings and be nodding in agreement. We will always be second best.
As always, I will not provoke an argument and paint on the smile again. Thank you for being here.
Good luck everyone xxxx
