I live 25 mi from my daughter. When her first child was a baby I saw them frequently but as time goes by I hear less and less from her. Any plans that she follows through with are geared towards occasional baby sitting . . .boys, now 9 and 11or maybe one or two sports events a yr, at which time she has friends present and says very little to me. She rarely calls; if I call her she may or may not call back and it is usually a week or so later. She does call once or twice a year to vent when she is furious with her husband. I saw her at Easter and have spoken with her 3 to 4 times since. I have never been critical of her and I do not meddle in her life or have unreasonable expectations of her. Once in one of our rare conversations, I ask that we should stay in touch a little better . . . she got ugly, screaming and ending up saying to me "I hope when I get OLD I don't" I can't even remember what it was, but when I told her calmly that calling me old, hurt, she deinied saying it.
