Sorry for still talking about this

[spaghetticat]

But my mom just called me. I said hello and all I hear is coughing on the other end. Great for emphasis. So she says she's not coming to the sprinkle. I don't know why I'm upset. This is very typical. And while I didn't want this thing in the first place, I do feel very lucky to have a mil that really cares and wants to do stuff for her grandkids.

For my shower with V, my mom was also the only one who didn't bring so much as a card. So she has books from coworkers of mine but not one from her own grandmother. Thanks for letting me vent. I just feel sad.

Ugh, I'm really sorry. I hope you can enjoy the day despite this.

[TrudyCampbell]

I'm sorry . I hope the sprinkle is more fun than you're expecting.

[sandj82110]

That really sucks. Even when you expect family to disappoint its hard. I hope you have a great time at the party despite her absence.

[Beener]

Wow, that sucks of her.
I'm sorry.

[carawestt]

I'm sorry, spaghetti. I hope you have a good time still.

[browndog]

I'm sorry, it sucks when family disappoints. I hope you still have a nice time today.

[laurensmomma]

I'm so sorry your mom keeps disappointing you. I hope you have a fun despite it.

[twirlermom]

I'm sorry

Try to enjoy your day.

[kdrake8]

I'm so sorry honey. I would love to be at your sprinkle right now! Hugs.

I'm sorry. I feel like when it's someone like your mom, even when you should know better that they aren't going to act the way you wished, you are still disappointed when they don't meet your expectations.

My mil got cupcakes as favors. I'm totally going to eat her cupcake.

[melmon0417]

I'm sorry :-( I hope you still enjoy your special day and people leave their drama at the door.

[alicia45]

I'm sorry. It sucks to feel like your mom doesn't care.

Try to have fun today. Your mil sounds like she's trying to help you feel loved today. Extra points for her!

[unclejesse]

I'm really sorry. It sucks when we can't depend on the ones we think we can. I hope you have a great time despite it.

[creamsiclechica]

Honey, I'm so sorry you're upset today, for all the reasons. I KNOW you look beautiful. I know you're upset about your mom, and I'm so sorry she let you down again. Eat her damn cupcake and about 10 more. I wish I could be there. Love you. You are so loved.

[bean47]

I'm sorry she disappointed you I hope the day is still okay and you enjoy many cupcakes!

[redmonkeystomper]

I am sorry your mom has let you down. Even when someone does something not too surprising it can still hurt. I hope you enjoy your time with your family and friends.

[ladydi]

I am so sorry she let you down again. You absolutely deserve that cupcake and several more!

I'm sorry. It's a bummer when our parents can't give us what we feel like we need from them, emotionally. I keep trying to accept that my Mom isn't going to be what I expect/want her to be and it's a hard realization. We still need our Mommy's love, damn it! 

I hope you enjoy your sprinkle. You deserve it! Eat cake! 

[teamhayes]

I'm sorry I hope you have a great day she is the one missing out.

My mil also didn't get me a shower gift or card. It is what it is.

[jamaga2583]

I'm sorry, that's really crappy. It's never easy when the people we feel we should be able to count on disappoint us. Big hugs. I hope you have some fun anyway. And I hope her cupcake is frigging delicious.

[Regina Philange]

I'm sorry! You will have a great day. Xoxo

[kkfeb04]

I'm sorry , it sucks big time.  Eat her cupcake and enjoy yourself today. 

My mom is the same way. She called 3 weeks before Kalvin's 1st birthday to say she couldn't come because she felt she may be sick with a cold that weekend. I shouldn't be surprised but it always upsets me.

The only good thing that will come is that we will treat our daughters differently and will have a much different relationship than we had with ours.

I'm sorry my mil is like this. She doesn't get the boys anything and it always disappoints me every time.

[rileym2010]

I'm sorry

[sunnysong]

I'm sorry. My mom didn't come to my baby shower either because she was "sick." I felt sad for a while but then I looked around at all of the people who loved me who were there to celebrate with me and felt a bit better. I hope you are able to have a good time and celebrate. Hugs!

[cat19]

I am so sorry. That's gotta suck - hair pats and hugs from a distance.

[claralou]

I'm sorry, hon. That does suck. Try to enjoy your day and the people who are there to celebrate with you. Hugs.

[kcsp910]

I'm so sorry, and can completely understand where you are at right now because this is how my parents are. Try your best to enjoy being surrounded by friends and family celebrating you and your newest addition.
