[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you are angry that she isn’t more involved, and you see that as her not really caring about you or your kids. You resent that she engages with you and your kids 100% on her terms, and you feel you are expected to be grateful for her crumbs and expected to cater to what she wants.

She will never change. Therefore, you have to decide what you want. Is an occasional grandma better than no grandma? Is her lack of interest too much a slap in the face for you to continue to swallow?

Are your kids very little? Some grandparents aren’t into that but like kids more when they’re older. Does she have health issues? What is she spending most of her time doing? Are you an only child?

I think you tally up a long list of all the times she has turned you down and canceled at the last minute. Ask her why she only likes to see your family for the big events. (Which holidays are you talking about, OP?) When she challenges the premise of your question, hand her the list. If WWIII starts, what exactly do you think her ammunition is?
