Grandparent ignored grandchild on the street!

recently I’ve posted on here about my daughter grand parent being absent from her life. Today I saw her when I was pushing my daughter along the street I was on the other side of the road I stopped to see if she’d stop and come and see her. But no she saw us and carried on walking. So at this point I got annoyed for my daughter who is 2 year old and can’t speak for herself I shouted are you just going to ignore your granddaughter. And she tried to carry on walking and point blank ignored me.
i think I have my answer I’m hurt for my daughter.

Maybe just leave it.

It all sounds far too dramatic.
You sound over bothered by it all.

Just get on with your own life and accept that the grandparents do not want to be in your company. They probably would love to see the child but not you & rest of your family.

Leave the poor woman alone . She doesn’t want to interact with YOU . You are the one who is going to poison the child’s mind .

I'm afraid the OP is going to carry on spitting her dummy out and blaming everyone else apart from her own behaviour.

Can’t possibly think why the GP’s are NC with her…

Another word of advice OP that you won't listen to. If you have negative history with someone and you spot them in the street, don't stop walking or doing whatever you're doing and look at them "to see if they come over". It's intimidating, aggressive behaviour and a sure fire way to ensure they definitely don't come over. A smile, a wave and saying hello is more likely to get a better response. Although the person still might ignore you and if they do, you need to respect that's their choice to do so. You keep going on about how you "would have been civil if she'd come over". She's not psychic so she doesn't know this. If you've ever not been civil in the past and she doesn't want to risk a repeat of that, she's going to ignore you and it seems that's what has happened this time. And it will continue happening, because according to other posts in this thread she has gone No-Contact with you. The sooner you accept this the better.

You sound like you want drama to surround your kid.
Act like an adult. Stop shouting in the street. If they don't wanna see your DD, so be it! Leave it as that. Stop posting about how upsetting it is for you. Who cares. Just focus on raising your child in a calm happy environment.
