The outlaws were in town this afternoon.. but they won’t even drop in to visit the kid.. even though it’s only a few minutes away. The excuse .. that the FIL doesn’t like to drive too much. And when I had asked the man to get them to bring us half a chicken on the way into town.. the same excuse. I don’t know what to think sometimes.. it’s like they don’t care .. period. Oh well..! that’s alright..! i think i shouldn’t be too disappointed.. and let it go… afterall.. they are the man’s parents.
Doting grandparents.. always buy gifts for their grandchildren.. and in my culture.. if you were grandparents of the only grandchild.. usually you are spoilt. But with my kid’s grandparents.. it is never forthcoming..! The kid doesn’t get very many gifts from them.. only during Christmas. One year on her birthday.. she got a few bucks with a card.
Not that we are hard up for gifts or anything.. but it’s just strange..that i have to make opportunities for them to buy stuff for the kid.. and i’m getting a wee bit tired about asking. Because the kid will be growing up.. and realising that all her gifts are from friends and customers.. and us.. but not the grandparents.
