[quote=Anonymous]I just need to complain. Advice is welcome. I have a 25 yo stepson. Not a bad kid. But he's a kid. I get that. How freakin hard would it be for him to call his father or send a card for Christmas or DH's birthday? We always do stuff for him! I try really hard to rise above his lack of consideration. But really, it hurts. It is one thing that I feel bad - I'm just the stepmom. But it has been 5 days and DH has been sad ever since Christmas. No call, no card, no gifts. DH spoke to DS yesterday and he confirmed he received the gifts (and said one of them was the coolest thing ever). It does not appear to be personal. Just lack of consideration.

In the past I've tried hinting (hey, I know your dad would really love to get a card from you for Fathers Day - or let me know if you need gift ideas for your dad for Christmas) to no avail.

We're FB friends and I have seriously considered posting some passive agressive status like "Friends, please call your parents on Christmas" or "My wish for my future child is that he always at least calls his parents for Christmas" but have managed to resist those urges.

I'll continue to take the high road. I will shop for presents, send them on time, and put on a happy face. I am just hoping that DH snaps out of his funk pretty soon. [/quote]
