[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And this is OP, but when I come to visit, I don't do anything but sit there. They aren't entertaining me. I sit there and watch them go about their business. I try not to be in the way. But I can sense DIL just doesn't want me there. Even at my home once a month, I can tell she would rather be anywhere but there. But I am my sons mother and I feel it's not too much to ask to spend a day with them! [/quote]

If you're just sitting there and not engaging, no wonder they feel so uncomfortable having you around. OP, I'm going to be frank but I'm not trying to be cruel. You have spent this entire thread whining and making yourself out to be the victim while rejecting every reasonable suggestion given as just not something you're going to do. If you behave half as poorly with your son and DIL as you have in this thread, I'm going to guess you're probably right that they don't want to spend time with you because this has been exhausting. I think it's time for a little introspection about how you are contributing to this dynamic.[/quote]

This. You're exhausting, you don't listen, you don't help, you're causing drama, blaming DIL for everything, and expecting her to drive to see you. Wake up. [/quote]
