[quote=Anonymous]I'm pregnant with my first child and my parents' first grandchild. While they seem to be excited when I see them in person (always when I travel there - very rarely do they make the 6-hour drive here to see us), they never call, email, etc. to check in on me. In fact, they've called me a total of 2 times during my entire pregnancy. Prior to my pregnancy, it was pretty much me making all of the effort - calling them once a week, going to visit them 4-5 times a year with them very rarely calling and only visiting us once a year, at most. I really thought my getting pregnant would make them more interested in being a part of our lives. I have become so hurt by this (which I feel is justified) that I've stopped calling them. We literally have not spoken since April and I'm due on Monday. They couldn't seem to care less, and while it bothers me that we haven't spoken, it bothers me more that they are so unconcerned by it all. Am I totally crazy or are my feelings justified? Sorry - just venting a bit, I guess. :( [/quote]
