Mom to Mom

[beckyb1012]

My first grandchild, Gwen was born three weeks ago today to my only son. I live an hour away and her Mom lives just down the street. I am so thankful my son's in-laws are close so they can have the support system and help they need.

I have gone on the week-ends for the afternoon only not to spend the night and had a great time. My son knows to call me anytime for help and he wants me to come as much as I want. Three weeks is a short time for there not to be any problems yet but I am hopeful and so blessed for all three of that sweet little family.

I just try to remember they are their own family unit trying to make their way plus I do love my privacy in my own life. But I did not realize during my DIL's pregnancy that my heart and arms would ache for this child when I come home after each visit!!

I have no idea what the other thread was about but it sounds like you are about to be a slim grandma. (?) ...Congrats to you!

LOL! I really can't say I understand it either.

Could be that the other grandma invited herself, and your DD didn't want to say 'no', etc., as another poster suggested. Sometimes 'pushy' (said in a very nice way)/more aggressive folks often have their way. And, if she lives near your DD, then, I can see that happening. Sometimes DD's want to make peace and become closer to their husband's moms. I'm just guessing, though. Anyway, obtaining a new job will be a good idea, as you will soon be focusing on something else, which is probably a good idea. Lots of good luck to you.

Maybe you could make something for the new baby? Do you knit or sew? Maybe start a baby book or scrapbook? Something that can't be bought. :-)

I do not understand...Your husband has a GREAT job, yet you have no money, what does your dress size have to do with anything and why do you think something has to be expensive for them to keep it ? Maybe, (just a thought) your atitude towards them (thinking they are la de da, just because of the money) is not very inviting and that could be why they do not want you around much

Only one word - Bizarre!!!

ChynnaBlue, I also found it odd that she stated her clothing size twice in the post. Not even sure how to respond.

I totally agree with everything else you said. And it still seems to me that something is "off" about this poster and her posts. Not trying to be rude or snarky, but something is just not quite right.

Perhaps she feels that her size is one of the things in life she can control, just a thught

Op, there is something that you want to say, but not telling us the whole story. Are you ok? No really, it just seems like you are very very hurt.
