My parents were in my neighborhood and didn’t even stop by.
Just venting. My parent live about 4 hours away and have been bugging us to come to them so they could see the baby. They’ve visited once since she was born. We finally packed up my 5 month old and drove the 4 hours for the weekend (of course it took even longer with the extra stops for the baby). And while we were there, they mentioned offhand that they had taken my stepsister’s kids to this big waterpark last month, which is less than 10 miles from our house! They showed pictures so I know it’s the one in our city. They literally have to drive a couple blocks from our house to get there.
They didn’t even bother to mention they were nearby, yet have the nerve to say we don’t visit enough!
I brushed it off in the moment as them just being careless as usual but after the long car ride back to dwell on it I’m angry and crushed. Why didn’t they want to even stop by for a quick visit? Why don’t they care about my baby but are so happy to hang out with my stepsister’s kids? I don’t get it! They kept asking when I was going to give them more grandkids and now they can’t be bothered to even stop by for a cup of coffee or something.
