I simply don’t know how to tell my mum that they are not coming. 100th is at Easter and they are saying trains are unreliable. 3 out of 5 grandchildren not coming either - all adults. How do I tell mum? I’m devastated for her. I’m finding it hard to suppress my anger. One of my siblings rarely visits anyway but surely for a 100th birthday you make the effort!? Any advice welcome.

Clearly these siblings don’t have a strong relationship with her
The fact that she’s celebrating 100 doesn’t mean she was a good mother

You can’t police other people’s feelings. They must have their reasons.
