[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you consider that possibly the dog is an excuse because they know something more is going on with grandma, and they don't want to tell you about it? Because you're going to give birth soon and maybe they are reluctant to stress you out by telling you something like, "Grandma is acting unlike herself lately/is demanding in ways we haven't told you/might be showing signs of [dementia, illness, or just super attachment to her pet]."

Why is your first instinct to be angry at them rather than to be concerned that they or grandma might be trying to cover up something else that should concern you?

Also, you won't be able to visit them when you have your newborn, but that doesn't mean they won't come visit you. The "we haven't seen each other in six months" was for reasons that all made perfect sense so it's not like they ditch you every single time for something you think is lame.

I'd cut them some slack and ask myself if I was investing this visit with way too much importance because I was very pregnant and wanting one last visit before the baby's here. Understandable but still not a reason to be angry especially if grandma is elderly and possibly not going to be around long. You may not have the full story.
