[quote=Anonymous]I get it, OP. My mom, who is a wonderful, giving person and grandmother, promised me to watch our boys when my husband and I had a very serious, very important long-scheduled doctor's appointment about our older son. My husband and I were very stressed about this appointment, the possible medical outcome, etc. My mom bailed at the last minute because of the death of an old friend who she hadn't spoken to in 10 years. I was hurt that she didn't recognize that her living family really needed her and was counting on her. I let it slide though...besides documenting it here. But whenever I think about how she disappointed us that day, it made me really appreciate all the other times she's been there because I can't imagine what it must be like for children to grow up with unreliable parents to prioritize others above them. And yeah, what PP said about not underestimating the desperation of a middle aged woman trying to hang onto a man is really sad and true. [/quote]
