Well the holidays are officially over and the in law story has not changed. My husband called his parents on Christmas morning and they were doing Christmas morning things. He told them when we should be home and for them to call later when they were free. Much to our surprise not they did not call.
OK I am not a grandparent but I hope to be one someday and I cannot even imagine not calling my grandkids on Christmas. We figure maybe they got busy so the next day my husband called and they heard the kids in the background and did not ask to speak to them. It is two weeks past Christmas and not one person on my husband’s side has called and talked to my kids. His brother and sister has not called or not even sent a Christmas card, they did not even call their own brother to wish him a Merry Christmas or Happy New Year.
You may be thinking maybe we should be initiating the calls but first remember we did not cut them out they cut us out. My husband did text each of them wishing them a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year but nothing back from them.
My mother in law talked to my husband a few days after Christmas and gave some ideas to him about what they were thinking about getting the kids for Christmas. OK Really! If you knew my mother in law you would know she does her shopping by summertime. Now she is calling asking what to get the kids for Christmas? Did she never have plans to see our kids for Christmas? She never even called the kids to see if they had a nice trip to Sea World, if they loved kissing the beluga whales and petting the dolphins. Is this normal?
