Three letters that are really bothering me!

We haven’t seen my kids’ grandma since thanksgiving.

We drove 14 hours one way to see her.

She constantly is off traveling. She has time and ability to be here.

I just took my kids on a trip with my mom. Mil was very jealous and made me feel bad the whole time. “Why didn’t I get to take them”

So, I offered to go with her! I asked where she wanted to go and what she wanted to do. We’d pay our own way. She then had no interest in going anywhere 🙄

I invited her to our house and she made up a fake excuse.

But, she’s guilting me like crazy for not letting her see the kids. 🤷‍♀️

My husband is upset his mom wants nothing to do with his kids.

Yet, she’s constantly bugging us for another baby. Begging for pictures. “Loves being a grandma” but, hasn’t seen any of them in a long time. Maybe once or twice a year if we make it to her place.

How do you get over it? I’m trying so hard to distance myself. Trying to ignore it. But, it’s hurting my husband and my kids at this point.

What is the deal? Are lots of grandmas this way? My mom lives far away but she takes off work to see the kids and all their important events. I’m glad for that. I’m just sad my husband will never get to feel like his mom is a good grandma.
