[quote=Anonymous]OP, my mother claims to be interested in my kids but rarely does she take us up on offers to interact with them. She lives about 2 hours away. My kids are now teens. I have invited my parents over the years to grandparents day at school, all of their recitals/plays, all of their sports games, birthday parties, Halloween, etc. My mother declined or cancelled last minute on 99.9% of these events. So you can't say I didn't try or tell her. Are you inviting your mother to things? Some people (like my mother) want to be formally asked. Don't get worried about the details in why, just invite her. If your mother declines, like mine does, then it's her, not you. Mourn the grandparent you thought you kids would have and move on. You cannot change people. [/quote]
