I love my boys, but always feared when they got married or had kids that I would not see them often. Experience with my own family....my sisters came home to our house (our parents) and the boys went to their wife's parents. (they all lived out of town)
Well I KNOW it is natural for mother/ daughter to be close and plan that exciting day. But I thought I would be more involved.
I also know everyone else works week days and off on weekends. And also everyone works days and sleeps at night. unfortunately I work nights and sleep days, and I work every weekend. So I am not available on weekends.
met with my son's future mother in law. Wow....she kept asking "do you know this...do you know this...do you know this..." Ofcourse my answer was no to all.
Well, turns out she talks to my son regularly. Later that day I get a call (son out of town for work) and he is very, very upset asking "what don't I tell you"
I really feel left out. But after talking to other mothers of grooms...seems like they have little to do with the wedding also.
Does anyone else have this experience? Am I just being too sensitive and overreacting?
I don't want to overstep my bounds, so I don't "pop" in on them. easy child works out of town, drives semi and isn't home that often. When he is I want to respect his time with his future wife. And I know they are busy with wedding plans. Seems as if his future in-laws pop in on a regular basis. We've never even been invited over.
