my parents haven't called me once since db born. DB is now 1 yrs old. they won't drive the 45 min. to see him b/c of "cost of gas" and "too much effort" (only granddb). hurts me too much. thinking of just blocking them from any contact b/c otherwise i'm waiting for them to be decent. my mom always tries to be a snotty rude person and says stuff like 'you should have some pride in your own DB and call us about him but we're not going to call you.' WWYD? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

if this is really the case, then you have known it all along and should not be surprised that she doesn't care about your kid any more than she has cared about you. you and your child are better off without her. develop a relationship with your mil. good luck [ Reply | More

You are thinking of blocking them from contact? They have already done that! Call them 2x a year to make sure they are still alive - otherwise move on with your life. [ Reply | More

your situation does really suck. i wouldnt shut them out at all, try to make some effort, call once every two weeks or so, like there are no problems between the two of you. she is your only mom even if she acts like this. you have a few options- shut them out then a resentful relationship will result. or, be friendly (even if she doesnt deserve it) - you wont regret it later. especially when db talks about grandma. also, there is a chance she may open up. good luck. i really feel for you. i was in your situation.\ [ Reply | More
