This will probably out me but I'm so annoyed. My DM hasn't seen my DNs for several months, despite them only living half hour away. My DB has over the years backed off from seeing any of us unless it's on their terms or for their children's birthdays when we're all expected to jump to it. All attempts at visiting and/or invitations for meals are either refused or accepted but then cancelled at last minute. At the same time sil bemoans facts that her kids miss their cousins. In summer holidays I tried to arrange to meet up but that came to nothing. Fast forward to last week when my DM arranged to visit them on Monday evening, this was cancelled on the day. My sil said she would visit my mum on the Tuesday but cancelled on the day. Neither could do the Wednesday so Thurs evening was agreed upon. My DM went up to their house, my DN let her in, put the kettle on, chatted away while his siblings were in other room on computer. When my DM asked where their mum was she was told "her and my dad have gone out for the night" ! My mum didn't make any fuss and stayed for about an hour with children (eldest is mid teens so was in charge of other two) and then went home.
My mother is always quite docile about these things but I am furious! How rude, how ignorant. I am tempted to send an angry text to them both, although I know it won't do any good. But I certainly won't be keeping in touch anymore. Just needed to rant
