A really bad day

[IheartDogs]

Today became a really bad day. My brother and family are in town with my amazing nephews. Long story short, if I want to see them, I have to go meet them at a birthday party and I am just not in the mood to socialize with others. My brother is selfish like this where everyone else has to fit into his schedule or else you don't get to see them. It's just painful because he'll plan in advance with friends but not with his own family. And now I won't see my beautiful nephews who I love so much. Probably won't get to see them again for months. Feeling very forgotten, unincluded, alone and sad. Thanks for listening.

I’m sorry to hear that. Many people use their kids as pawns and it’s not very nice.

I haven’t seen my grandson in some time and it breaks my heart.

Just a suggestion, can you go to the party and just focus on your nephews? Sometimes we have only certain opportunities.

Cheer up. I hope your day gets better.

I'm so sorry you haven't seen your grandson in a while. I hope you can see him soon. I thought about going to the party and just focusing on my nephews but I know it wouldn't be easy because people will be coming up to me and talking, it's people that I know. I'm just not in the mood to be fake and phony and push through today. Plus it's almost an hour away. Thanks for chiming in, Dee.💖

Unfortunately the only person he tries to keep happy is himself. He puts himself before his wife and kids so I shouldn't expect anything more. It's not often he visits so I'm just hurt he didn't make time for me but made time for his friends and planned with them, not me.

I'm sorry. I can see why you'd feel hurt. I hate the feeling like I've been forgotten about or put on the back burner. Especially by family. I hope that you get to see them soon.

I hope that you were able to see you nephews, I am so sorry that your brother didn't plan to carve out a bit of time for you. Praying that he was able to see how important this was to you.
