Pre Covid my DM was VERY involved in my children's lives. She would offer to take them out for the day, have them stay the night at her house or just for tea and a play. Would help with swimming lessons etc but now it's the polar opposite.
I always really appreciated that she wanted to be so involved and spend quality time with her grandchildren. I never asked for her to have them, she would always offer.
Obviously at the start of the pandemic when we were all in full blown lockdown and there were heavy restrictions, things were different and of course I didn't expect her to come and visit/spend time with my DC or have them at her house. Now that restrictions are nowhere near what they used to be I half expected our normal to go back to how it was (to a certain extent.)
For a bit of context- she is double vaccinated (so are myself and DP) and has travelled within the UK to visit family without any issues. She goes about like 'normal' (obviously following any current rules/guidelines in our area still) and doesn't have any problems travelling a number of times quite far to visit other family. My issue is..
She hasn't bothered at all to visit myself or my children, never phones to check in with them or have a blether with them or to ask how they are. It's almost as if she just can't be bothered! It's quite upsetting actually.
AIBU to be quite annoyed/upset with this? I haven't spoken to her for weeks and feel quite hurt. Is anyone else experiencing anything similar? It's like a switch has been flicked and she doesn't want to be part of our lives anymore or is point blank just avoiding us
