[QUOTE="Shari, post: 420829, member: 1848"] I don't think you are being over sensitive, but you're not alone, either. In fact, your boat is quite crowded. My easy child 1 and his girlfriend are planning their wedding, and while I don't have the work obstacles you do, I'm much the same as far as being involved. I'm not. And I know it's not intentional. I'm close to them, but we don't necessarily talk every day. Occasionally, I make a point to go visit his girlfriend and ask her whats the latest on the wedding. She's always excited to share. I also know she has a very controlling mom and my sons extended family has their own ideas about how everything should be done, so I don't want to add to her burden of pleasing people by saying something, otherwise I might. If you can tell your son how you feel, i would. Maybe there is an easy fix. For my situation, I don't say anything be because i am sort of their sounding board and know how much they are trying to do what they want but keep all these other people happy. I've taken the notion I won't say anything cause imdont want to add to that. But if that's not a problem for your kids, just ask. Just keep itmlight Maybe you can do dinner and catch up. Or ask to see things they've selected. Good luck. Andhugs. [/QUOTE]
