[quote=Anonymous]Visiting my adult kid who just had a baby (don’t care if it’s her first baby or her 5th) would absolutely take precedence over going to a bday party (or any other event except *maybe* a once in a lifetime thing like a wedding or funeral for someone I was close to) but it would be really, really hard to convince me that anything is more important than meeting a new grandchild right away/ASAP and being there for my adult DD who just gave birth ASAP. However, I would’ve told my other daughter this in a kind way acknowledging her feelings about her kid’s bday party, apologizing for missing it, sending a nice gift in my absence, and calling as soon as I could to make alternate plans to do something special with the birthday kid at a different time. I don’t play favorites w my kids or grandkids but visiting newborn grandchild and their parents in hospital immediately after birth is an opportunity you only have once. [/quote]
