Lastnight mil phoned up to ask dh to check on internet for flights to Perth as they want to visit sil 3rd time in less than a year, I said to mil that maybe she should visit the grandchildren she has in this country for a change!!!
they have been to visit us once since last october we live about 1hour 15mins away, although we have been to them and also seen them at a few family gatherings, we have also just moved house so thought they would want to visit!!(we have invited them loads of times)
Anyway got a text from her later on saying she did not deserve the comment and she was upset.as they are always there for us ect ect,
I phoned her back straight away and told her she did deserve the comment and that my kids were missing out and thats why i made the comment, my kids hardly Know them. I was not rude to her and said that i was sorry she was upset. She was making all sorts of excuses about them being busy ect and that she was suprised i felt this way, it ended with me saying well thats my opinion and a swift goodbye!!
Dh has two other brothers who live about same distance away who they regulary visit.
i am just so annoyed and i suppose hurt that they cant seem to find time to visit my kids, we never ask them for anything but all dh sibblings are always lending money from them, dh says it doesnt bother him but it does me!!!!
Rant over!!!
