My son and his wife recently had their first child. I spent most weeks travelling to London to spend the day with DIL, shopping for baby stuff, cinema, lunch etc. We talked about recommended bookies etc and generally bought in to all the excitement.
Her mother came over from China to help out in July and baby Was born in September. DIL’s mum is staying until mid Jan and then her aunt is coming for another 6 months to help. Since baby was born I’ve only been invited to see him 5 times, and then I’ve only stayed an hour and half as it’s an odd atmosphere and I’m not sure I’m welcome. My ex partner (son’s fathers) has had the treatment and has only seen him twice. My son has a very high pressure job (6 days a week+) So maybe it’s a case of rabbit caught in the headlights...or is it cultural??? Any ideas? Advice? TIA
