I have five children, four grown up, three with kids of their own. for the second year in a row, there has been no acknowledgement in any way of that fact by three of the four eldest. my youngest is 14, still lives at home, gave me a card and made me tea and toast this morning; but I know this would not have happened if my partner hadn't organised it. My eldest daughter is 30 with a child of her own; my eldest son, age 26, there is an excuse for, he has just had a baby of his own, and is very caught up in that. I will probably get a call from my other daughter later today; my other son of 24 is living less than six miles away, and I have not heard from him. My partner has gone out with the dog; the youngest is in his mates' house on the Playstation. It feels horrible. Am I being unreal in my expectations; did I rear them badly-or am I the only one feeling like this?
