Remember all the fun I had at my oldest DD's party now going on 3 weeks ago before she moved to Portand? I dropped her and her sweet boyfriend and boyfriend's mom (my old nursing school roomie) at the airport and off they went to start their new life!
And the days passed... and passed... I left DD messages... and waited... and waited. In my last phone message, I said, "I can't imagine why you're not calling me unless you're angry at me for some reason I don't know about... so please enlighten me??" Nothing... and nothing...
Finally last night... she responded to my short email saying simply, "WTF... this is not cool" and wrote that she'd been busy, everything was fine, she'd call soon. I know she's been busy... but come on... a 5-min. phone call??
I must admit that I'm incredibly hurt. I spent the whole day of her party cooking food and going out to buy the booze cause I knew the day was going to be hard for her. I didn't even THINK about all I did until I got nothing... not a "thanks"... not a "lemme give you some $$ for the beer"... not a "you're the only family of mine who came"... nothing.
Boyfrend called his mom more than a week ago to thank her for coming all that way to see them off.
What would you do in this situation? I'll tell her I am hurt... but all I see coming out of that is more silence.
Geez... I hate my kids sometimes.
