[quote=Anonymous]My mom, local at only 20 minutes away, is the type of mom/grandma who can’t seem to find the time to get together until it’s a major holiday or birthday. We invite her to things all year long and she will decline, claiming she’s too busy with this or that thing, or will accept and then cancel, claiming something came up. But then the second it’s someone’s birthday or a holiday, suddenly she’s champing at the bit to see us, playing the victim and acting like we’ve been avoiding her. It’s infuriating. I’m so sick of it.

It’s DS birthday next Friday and while I haven’t heard from her yet—and haven't seen her in about nine weeks; she’s cancelled the last three times—I have a feeling I will inquiry from her by the end of the week in regards to DS birthday. I have no clue what to do. She doesn’t get to just pop in and out for the fun things where she can shower them with gifts and pretend to be this perfect, present grandma. It doesn’t work that way. But I don’t know how to tell her this without starting WWIII. Any ideas?[/quote]
