Now that they are grownups with their own families, two of our boys and one of our daughters. Both of my sons live with their wives in their own homes. Recently, my wife and I joyfully celebrated my oldest child’s fatherhood.
We visited them on the day they were discharged from the hospital, bringing them gifts and even some money. However, my daughter-in-law and her mother didn’t seem to be pleased to see us. By chance, they were residing at the parents of my daughter-in-law. After we had been there for about an hour, they didn’t even offer us coffee.
The soon-to-be bride did not even take the plush toy I had sent as a gift. But who returns a gift? If my daughter-in-law had been like way from the beginning, I wouldn’t have been surprised. We had great relationships and frequently spoke on the phone. Once the kid was born, her behavior toward us drastically changed.
My son can’t speak because he lives in their home. When we returned home, my spouse and I both felt upset. Later, I made repeated phone calls to my daughter-in-law to convince her to visit us but she refused. Recently, my son let me know that she is not nursing the baby. I feel awful for my grandchild because of this.
I can’t talk to her, though. I am at a lost for words when my friends and family ask about my grandchild. I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve only ever met my grandchild once. My son said that the infant was still very little and that we might go for a walk when he was older when I asked him to meet the baby for a stroll.
My mother left the apartment to me. I first thought of selling it and splitting the proceeds equally with my children. My husband then said that wasn’t required.
After renovations, he decided to rent it out. With sons like that, my spouse believes we have no future. We should think about our own latter years. With my husband, I agree.
