Among Friends

[Mom2Dogs]

I shared a month or so ago about a baby shower for my granddaughter...she is on the outs with her mom, dad and sister...I am the step grandma.  We all went to the shower together...it was quite awkward but glad we went.

My granddaughter did not come to our table to greet us but before we left we all spoke to her briefly... 

She looks good and the baby is due the end of December.

@Mom2Dogs - I'm glad you are comfortable with your decision to go. I believe she should have said goodbye to you, but at least you were there. How sad for your stepdaughter and the rest of your family who went. Maybe when the baby gets here she will mellow some!

@beach-mom  She is acting very immature., we are not an overly close famiy but I told my stepdaughter that gdaughter needs to get this issue settled...we all want to see and be some part of the baby's life  If she does not mend fences, we all lose.

Kudos to you for taking the initiative to go.  I'm sure your granddaughter will realize what a mistake she made on your behalf.

@Mom2Dogs You are so right, I hope your gdaughter soo realizes that you have the baby's best interests at heart and opens that door.

Thanks for the update @Mom2Dogs .  I 'm glad you went and that your other family members went as well.  It's nice you didn't have to go alone.

I wish your granddaughter had been a little more friendly, but at least she spoke to you all, even if only briefly. Baby steps, I guess.

I hope the relationships continue to mend.

Your granddaughter sounds rude, ungrateful and tacky.  Whatever the problems are, her family had the grace to attend her baby shower.  I assume with lovely gifts that she accepted.  The least she could do was greet them at their table.  Get ready for her to weaponize the baby against them.

@Mom2Dogs - Glad you went to the baby shower and didn't have to attend alone. At least she knows her family was there even though she didn't really spend time with them.

Let's all wish for the very best.

               Good health to mom and arrival of new, healthy baby!

                May this new baby have a nice, comforting family and home.

So will all this nonsense prevent you as step g-ma from seeing the new baby on your own? Just let the others fuss and fume and you go enjoy that new baby.
