I've been slack in responding to my friends posts lately, but I promise to get better!        I always read them all, just never seem to have time to respond, at least not lately anyway.

Yesterday was my daughters birthday.  She was 22.  It was the first year that I haven't made her a cake, havent gotten her a present and even though I've called

I sent my daughter two small gifts for her 30th birthday on May 5
and I sent a My First Leap Pad and two books for her son's birthday on May 8.
No phone call. No thank you. Nothing.
I don't expect anything for Mother's Day either.
So you're not alone, my dear.

First of all, I am so thankful your cousin's baby is okay. That had to be terribly scary for everybody.
As for your daughter, well, just because she's your kid doesn't mean you have to like the choices she made, and since you've called and tried to keep contact with her in other ways and she's rejected you, to me you've done all that you could. When she finally figures out what she's done and what she's lost in you, I know she'll come around, though it doesn't make your pain any easier now. I'll sure keep you in my prayers, and her for a softening of her heart because she's missing a lot and her baby is missing more.
Hugs and warm thoughts for you today.

Thank God babies are so resilient. I had a rat terrier for 18 years before he finally died. He was one of the best dogs I've ever owned! Have fun with yours! Boy, I remember when my daughter was 22. I wasn't sure if we would ever have a relationship like we had when she was younger. My friend who had older kids said wait until she's 26, it'll get better and it was like magic. She turned 26 and turned back into the person I used to like. And now, 2 years later, we are very close friends. She has taken all those values we taught her, that we thought she had thrown out the window, and is now instilling them in her own children. Knock me over with a feather, but she's turned into a woman I am very proud of. Just keep the lines of communication open and try to focus conversations on positive things you have or have had together, bite your tongue ALOT and she'll be back in about 4 years.
