I have some of the best family members and on the other hand I've got the worse!
My kids have a set of grandparents that have yet to earn the title! Easter has come and gone and yet we still have not heard from them!!! It have been three months since they have called to see if Ragan and Hayden are okay! I'm guessing if they don't see their names in the paper, or a phone call the middle of the night then everything is fine. I'm not shocked this is happening they have never been the type of people that has been hands on grandparents! I know and somewhat understand if they dislike me. No, I don't understand why they dislike me I've bent over backward for them!! I can take and have taken alot from them, but don't take it out on my kids!!! I don't think they understand they maybe the only grandchildren they may ever have! What they don't realize that their actions has already affected the way the kids think of them! I know there will come a day that they will want to be apart of their lives, but i'm thinking it will be too late!
I grew up with ALL my grandparents apart of my childhood and adulthood I guess that why I don't understand their way of thinking. I look and looked up to both of my grandmothers! I learned so much from them, each one has given me diffrent things that I carry with me today.
At first I would make up excuses for their actions when they were little, but they are at the age they notice! Now when asked I just tell them its my fault, because they don't like me very good. But now i'm hit with the questions of why they don't like me... What do you say???
My kids are not perfect, but they are some of the most thoughtful and caring kids you will ever come to meet!!! I think to myself and at times out loud to who ever will let me vent... I am their mamma I should be able to fix everything that makes them sad! Most of the time I can, but after a total of 17 years I can't seem to find a way to fix this!!!Rrr...

Since how I totally understand this issue with grandparents I want to share or should I say vent if you don't mind, Thanks. Justin's mom has always been it and out of his life as long as I have been in his life 12 years WOW!! When Stetson was in the NICU at this time she was living back here in Huntsville and she was one of the few people that could have went it to see him, but she would say to the others that I never called her?? I me it was not my place to call her and let her know how he was doing she knew my number. So I had enough of the talking about it I just called her and told her what I thought about it ALL. She was not going to be IN and OUT of my sons life like she had been with her own. So from there out things were good she and Justin's dad were back together which was awesome after 20 yrs.
ReplyDeleteSo the end of Feb. Justin broke his leg and we were in the ER my phone rang at 1:00am Justin was being discharge and it was his mom it went a little like this
me: "Hello"
mom: "April"
me: "Yes"
mom: "I have one thing to tell you"
me: "OK"
mom: "GO TO HELL"
so I asked why and she said that Shane (which is Justin's dad) knows why??
So that has been 2 months ago and I still don't know why??
I don't need this type of attitude in my life or in my sons, but it is a hard pill to sollow. I don't UNDERSTAND???
