My parents can't WAIT to be grandparents. They had hopes that we'd be pregnant as soon as we got back from the honeymoon... Much to everyone's disappointment 5 years later, my parents still don't have any grandchildren... Well my brothers gf has a 5 year old and I swear my mom acts like its her new granddaughter. They even bought her a swing set! And if you haven't priced those lately... Whoooo doggy, it's extravagant for your son's GIRLFRIEND's child. But whatev... Then school was starting and they bought her a bunch of school clothes and supplies and around the same time, my mom was suddenly too busy for anything to do with me. I don't think she realizes it but it really hurts me. Every time I call all I get is "I'm busy, what's up?" or "I'm ::doing something:: with/for your brother/his gf, do u need something?" or "your dad just got home I'll call you later" or the greatest "your brother/dad is calling I'll call you back".
I know they want to be grandparents and I'm sorry my body doesn't work the way it should but seriously? This girl is not our family, she is not my brothers child, they are not her grandparents. My mom has a picture of her on her desk at work. And Super Bowl Sunday she made a side comment about how she misses her. I feel like I don't care anymore to her. And I don't know how to tell her how I feel. So I'll just sit here and cry about it because I don't have anything else I can do about it.

Sorry girl :/ My parents don't say anything about wanting grandchildren. I don't know if they just generally avoid the topic with me or what but I've never heard them say they want grandchildren. Probably doesn't help that my dad adopted 5 kids between the ages of 2-10 last year. I don't think my mom has adjusted to the fact that I married Hubs YET. *sigh*
