I am not sure if you are allowed to get real serious here. I have only come here to joke around with you gals. If not, MK just delete this post.
I have a kid problem, in particular a son problem. It is almost 5am and I can't sleep because of it.
My son lives about 8 miles away from me. I have not seen or heard from him since Christmas. This is not unusual since he got married 7 yrs ago.
He also doesn't keep in contact with his 2 sisters either. None of us knows why, and believe me we have asked. Not sure if its him or his wife.
We are always nice, them included at the 1 family function they come to every year, Christmas. They have ongoing contact with his wifes side of the family, and my grandson spends the nite and is very close to them.
Unfortunately it is getting harder for me to feel nice. I have kept my mouth shut, but don't know how much longer that will last. I am getting real fed up with the situation. No mothers day cards or calls, no birthday cards or calls, etc. etc. Yet we all call him.
I have a 6 year old grandson that I don't even know, and he doesn't know me. This is what hurts the most. When he was first born I would stop by every Sunday to visit, until I was told to stop, when he was about 6 months old. When he got older and my granddaughter would be here with me every Sunday I asked if they could have a play day together. Mother said no "He is too difficult to take care of." He has been in day care since birth so I think I could handle it. I have been a Therapist for many years, and even treated children. So not a valid reason.
My sons', my grandsons' and my birthday are all in December so Christmas is it as far as they are concerned. Well this year my 2yr old grandson(will be 2 in July) is having a B-Day party and he told his sister he couldn't see any reason why they couldn't come. (Didn't ask wifey yet.)
So do I continue this charade, or do I have it out with him in July? Haven't seen him in the summer for seven years for goodness sake.
Like what do I have to lose? My girls keep telling me, "Mom that kid is weird anyway." I wonder if it is just because we are strangers to him.
I would love to hear some advice from all the wise women on this forum.
Please and thank you
Nancy
