We have just spent a Christmas with my other halves parents for the first time in 20 years. First time ever for my 15 year old due to the other sibling being there ( no repair, we've really tried)
The other grandparent said they were at work over Christmas. She messaged on Christmas Day for the first time ( she lives in Wales and doesn't bother) we phoned and she was at the other siblings house. She said she had gone last minute as the sibling was unwell. We have since found ours she has been there for a while and plans to stay for a couple of weeks it's all over social media.
My other half has been here before and realises that his sibling is not unwell but just not getting her own way at Christmas so has rallied the troops. The mother from Wales has always rejected visits from us.
The point is my 15 year old is very aware and is gutted his cousins get a couple of weeks and he gets a day in January. Also, I just can't bare the lying ( this isn't the first thing)?
What the hell do I say?😢
