DS was here yesterday (thought it was for a visit but was to pick up some left behind goods from when they moved)& he never said one word about Easter. He did mention 3-4 times that today is her birthday but when we gave her a gift card for Christmas she refused it so he spent it. I have half a notion for DH, myself & DS#2 to meet for dinner & not say a word. This has been going on now for 9 months & I'm tired of playing their little games. She has limited us to seeing our grandkids 'to once a month & that is when she says we can see them" She's punishing the kids & she doesn't realize it with her stupid little air head games she plays. As you can probably tell I'm just a little irritated with them but how long can one play the games that this girl plays? I'm guessing I will go ahead & make a ham & fixings & have what we normally do but it's so hard when you don't know how many are coming. Do I make Easter baskets for them & them not show up? I don't know what to do. Maybe if I do nothing it will shock all of them back to reality???? Here it is a week before & I haven't heard anything for sure from either of them but I will get a call around Thurs. wanting to know what is for dinner! I guess boys are so much different than girls because I talked to my Mom on the phone almost every day, drove 50 miles one way to see her atleast once every 2 wks & spent every holiday & moment I could with her. We had the June & Ward Clever family until this girl came into the picture & now things seem like they have been just tossed up in the air. LOL Gone to hell in a hand basket as my G'ma would say. So, I sit, I wait & I will scurry to make it a happy Easter if necessary. But one of these days.....(as Archie Bunker would say!)
