I've always swallowed it down, but this year I'm pissed off. Of my 3 kids (in their 30s, 2 with young families), only my childless daughter ever sends me a card (from overseas) for Christmas. I send a huge hamper of gifts and home baking for the families, (they live 500 miles away), but all I ever get is a text on Christmas day. Even when I became a pensioner and retired after 42 years' working and raising them almost single-handedly, there was no acknowledgement. The in-laws got the full party thing when they became pensioners, and birthday and Christmas presents every year. I have supported one of my sons financially to the point of impoverishing my retirement when he was about to lose his house. They are not well off, but surely a card is not asking too much? Tell me I'm not BU , please.
