@kdo827 Hi Ive had those feelings but I came to the realization that they both work ,my grandson is in school and when they are home that's where there attention is as a family I know they love me but remember when you had your kids ? That was our world Mine are the same but Dear Abby ,remember her, said as long as your kid is doing o.k. be thankful ,they will call when they aren't o.k. This is tough to accept but you raised them well .Ive gone through this also.After I realized this I made my own life now.

I do try and realize they’re busy and I appreciate that. But when they do talk to me they could ask how I’m doing. At Christmas I didn’t even get a thank you for their gifts. One daughter didn’t open hers as she was overwhelmed but it’s been 2 days and I still haven’t heard anything from her. I also had gifts shipped for the baby’s birthday and if it wasn’t for Amazon I would not know they were received. It’s just hard ALWAYS being there to help, we’ve given lots of financial help and we do without to help. A thanks and being paid back would be nice.
