I do understand were your coming from opelessgran.Again I do think it's an age thing, I feel invisible even when in company sometimes.Like you I am trying to make my own life more interesting and busy , then maybe just once when they ask me to look after dgc I will be able to say i'm busy.Of course they are very busy, and probably don't realise you would like to see them more, we also have to ring first, before calling which we did a couple of times, it's a few years ago now, we were made to feel uncomfortable both times, so we stopped calling, and waited for them to visit us, son calls over birthdays, mothers day etc dil rarely visits with him, but sometimes will text me for babysitting duties, we rarely say no as we love our dgc, and don't want to miss out seeing them whenever we can .Keep going opelessgran at least your seeing your dgc and son.Good luck.
