Long boring backstory so I will trim it.
My parent's live 10 minutes away , they see me and my dcs 5 time's a year at most (and only when we go to them).
They don't call , or show any interest in our lives, they sent my dds birthday present last year instead of coming over.
I have tried my upmost to forge some sort of relationship with them , I have invited them over , call them regularly etc. Nothing has worked .
My dsis has the same issues and has done for 12 years since her ds was born.
But my other dsis, they have her dd 5 days a week while she is at work (and have done since she was 4 months old) , they babysit any time she wants and visit her all the time. They couldn't even babysit for me when my dhs mother died.
They are off on holiday next month and taking dsis dd of course , I haven't even heard from them in 2 months .
I realise I should just get over it , but it breaks my heart my kids will grow up feeling 2nd best. Do I just completely cut contact now ? Or try again and again.
