[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 222446, member: 2315"] Hi all! Jane, The party was wonderful and I made some new friends this weekend. I also made plans to go to dinner with some of my old friends after Christmas. No word from daughter yet even though I sent flowers and a note apologizing for crossing a boundry which I openly admit I did. (Teach by example). She will stew and expect me to beg but that won't happen. Ball's in her court. I am going ahead with my Christmas Eve plans with the rest of the family I will not call her and plead for her to come. I'll have husband call and let just her know what time dinner is and if she shows up great if not we will do fine without her. According to husband, difficult child 1 says her husband is behind her 100% on this. I told husband that of course sister in law is OK with this because he has relatives comming to the US from Spain this holiday and he already told us months ago that he wanted to spend both Christmas day and Christmas Eve with them. Back then Daughter wanted to come here on Christmas eve so now that she doesn't I am sure is is going to allow her to boycott us because he then gets what he wanted all along. In addition difficult child 1 has been all over sister in law for all his "shortcommings" (he is actually very good to her and very patient and helps more than most husbands I know but she finds fault with everything and everyone) Personally, I think she is horrid to use her baby as a weapon and I am furious that she is so inclined. If she keeps him from me for his first Christmas she will do it knowing that she will change our relationship forever. She is fully aware of my feelings on using a child as a pawn. husband says that if she excludes me from Baby's life then she excludes him. He says he will not have a relationship if I can't. I don't approve and told him so but he is adamant. Dazed, I fear the same kind of life for my grandson. Fortunately I have learned that I have to be true to myself and I will not walk on eggshells kertowing and waiting for my daughter to smile upon me. Daisy, Thanks he is so cute and a very good baby. difficult child 1 is very lucky Steely, I Thanks for the welcome back. I see That you are living in TX so I will have to look for other clues as to who you are :) [/QUOTE]
