Among Friends

@wagirl. We are not terribly close, but if she lived closer to me I would see the baby....they live an hour away...so just running over when the baby is born is not an option.  

No one is  happy about the situation, (granddaughter created the problem), but I doubt her mom would just show up...an even if invited not sure how things would go... she sports an attitude.

@Mom2Dogs ---that is so sad for all involved--am sorry!!

I bet because you were sitting with her mother and sister, you were avoided by your GD at the shower--which is such a shame.  You didn't do anything wrong.

I think the grand daughter was rude not to make it the table you were sitting at.

Always take the 'high road', no matter who, what, why, when, where.

You be the best Grandma you can be.  

Write notes to your Grandchild, even when he/she is a newborn.

Forget / ignore what all of the others are saying and how they are acting.

You be this baby's 'shining star'.

And you will be kindly rewarded in the long run.

@Mom2Dogs I do admire what you are doing and I hope things work out for everyone.  Especially for the baby.

I sometimes forget how different we all live because in my state, all our relatives were 1 to 3 hours away. . . so it was just normal.  Now, we don't so much do it as we are older.

@ROMARY   Honestly,  everyone has been accommodatng to my step granddaughter...she is the one cutting everyone off....then complains because no one checks on how she is doing....

I hope the relationship works out with the father, she has cut her family off...except for inviting all of us to a shower where she got a lot of nice things but barely spoke to anyone....it is a bit difficult to navitage what is going on.

I just thought of something..........

The shower most likely wasn't given by the grandaughter.

Most likely it was given by her mother or one of her relatives.

Just maybe the grandaughter was surprised and / or didn't even want to be given the baby shower.

Maybe that's why she wasn't overly friendly.

Who knows about her relationship with her husband, etc.  

All sorts of reasons why she wasn't very friendly.

I'd like to learn about more information / details in this situation.

Anyway, again, wishing mom and baby the best of health, which is the most important thing.

@ROMARY    Shower was given by granddaughters boyfriends sister, she is not married to the dad.

She is pretty much on the outs with her side of the family , so her mom was not involed in the shower.  But recently complained that no one has checked up on her during the pregnancy!!!

My grandaughter knew all about the shower as she sent out a lot of the invites via facebook.  She was also LATE for the shower.

Her grandma on her dads side and one of her aunts and me...we are not involved in any drama but she did not speak to any of us, we had to go to her for a brief hello as the shower was ending.

She was not friendly because she is sporting an attitude but  went along with all of us being invited and then snubbed at her shower.  

Becoming a mother will be a huge wake up call for her.

This is a side of her that I was not aware she had...very disappointed.

[ROMARY]

Could it be that this pregnancy was 'a surprise' ?  

Also, maybe she's not feeling well, as many pregnant mothers sometimes have nausea, etc.

This mom-to-be might have close family members who will help raise the child, if she isn't interested in doing so herself.

Time will tell. 

All we can do is hope for the very best.  

 Wishing baby the best of all situations.
