Well it is New Years and hubby called the parents to wish them a Happy New Year. Originally we were supposed to get together with them the week after Christmas; that is if we had agreed to do the family thing which as we know we did not. We had a feeling that his Dad was not going to be feeling well and that is totally fine I knew that and it is legitimate.
Still no calls to the kids or my husband to see how Christmas was or what they got from Santa. The kids have officially stopped asking if they were ever going to call. I guess it is better for them that they get used to it but I still feel bad for them. They have three Grandparents that are still alive and they only get to see one of them my mom. Lucky for them they have her.
My daughter is starting to sell Girl Scout cookies this week and she called and got their voice mail. A few days later when my husband called to check in she mentioned that she got the voice mail but to tell her they can’t eat them because of their diabetes. Well we know they are diabetic but that does not mean that she can’t buy them and donate them to the troops overseas. Isn’t it more important to support your grandchild? It was early in the night couldn’t she have just asked to speak with her so she could talk to her about the message she left.
If my kids call and leave messages they will not call the kids back, they usually call my husband while he is at work and say hey I saw you called, like they did not check their voice mail and see it was the kids. He will tell them that it was the kids that called and they still don’t call them back to talk. It is really hard watching your kids getting their feelings hurt again and again. I feel like I need to be the one to make their pain stop.
