Just rant!!!

I’m just so annoying at my Ex & his entire family. They normally arrange a meal with his sister and my DD because it’s on the same day, but not this year and it’s her 18th.

Not a card, not a present, which is so bloody bizarre, the cards and the present are all there, but it’s not the point she’s upset, I’m rightly so!

I even called his dad and told him that his eldest granddaughter was upset and nothing! If called my ex, it was just cause an argument.

There’s nothing going on in his family, no illness and they’ve got the money. They normally arrange birthday meal, she’s going off to the Navy this year and she’s not going to be home for her 19th, 20th and 21st.

She even text Dad to ask what was going on with that side of the family. He answers part of the message and didn’t answer that part it’s just heartbreaking, she’s acting like it’s nothing but I can tell when she’s upset and that’s upsetting me! 🥺 Xx

Have they arranged some sort of surprise celebration for her as it's her 18th?

I don't blame you for being annoyed, it hurts to see your child upset 😔 I hope you and she have some lovely plans to celebrate her birthday and make it special. She will remember who was there for her on such a special occasion and who wasn't. Tell her she's wonderful and it's their loss 💐

I don't understand this sentence: Not a card, not a present, which is so bloody bizarre, the cards and the present are all there, but it’s not the point she’s upset, I’m rightly so!

Did you book a meal for her and invite people?

Did you not arrange anything for her 18th?

She doesn’t need to plan stuff for her ex. She will do for her side of the family. No matter what mum has sorted, it’s heartbreaking to have your dads side ignore it

I think she means the other cards and presents from everyone else were there

Oh right, thank you, I couldn't comprehend it.

Of course I arranged for my DD 18th a meal with my side on family plus driving lessons & where going to the Reading festival.

Sorry, I meant all the cards & presents from my Ex side of family are at his house.

I cannot get my head around it was her 18 plus she’s going in the Navy this year!
