Family Matters

I am so disappointed in mine and Chad's families. No one makes an effort to visit Ivy. NO ONE. We go months without seeing grandparents. My mom lives 10 minutes away (not even), my dad lives almost 2 hours away (understandable), Chad's dad lives 45 minutes away but drives to Winnipeg everyday for work, literally passing by our neighbourhood on the

I'm sorry, that sucks. Every kid should have awesome grandparents. She's so adorable, by the way! Aww.

Tina, your kid is SO CUTE, I can't imagine her grandparents not wanting to hang out with her like every day. It must be so disappointing. Like, when I was born, my dad's family lived in ARIZONA, and they managed to see me, and send lots of letters and things. I don't know. My best friend (also a Tina) lived in Whitehorse for eight years, and her parents called her all the time and begged her to move home, and said they wanted to know her kids, and cried about how much they missed her, and now that she's finally back here, they hardly ever see her, and think her (awesome, adorable) kids are annoying. UGH.

It's their loss, honestly, which doesn't make it any easier for you, but Ivy won't really know the difference. She'll just know that you and Chad love her, which is the most important.
