I think I probably am and need a talking to. One of my teenagers is involved with an amateur dramatic society. She puts a lots of time into rehearsals and they will put on their annual production next month in the local theatre. I have asked my parents if they will come. (They didn't come to last years) they replied immediately that they had other plans (it runs for 3 nights and they have plans for one). I even offered to get them tickets and bring them there and back. I said "That's fine I understand" but really I feel like crying. I think I might be a bit PMTish though so hence posting here. My DD will not say anything either but really everyone else will have grandparents and aunts and uncles there and my DD will have me only. I believe my parents think we put too much emphasis on her drama interest and disapprove and as they are quite controlling this is their way of expressing their disapproval - they never ask about what she's doing either even though they do love her very much. They also do go to the theatre regularly so it is not from a complete lack of interest (though I do understand that am-dram can be hard going). Do I need to grow up and get over this?
