how quickly things change

for the last several months, since last june, I have been the best mom on earth. the kids couldnt sing my praises loudly enough. i was the bouncer, the gravy train, the great oz -- you name it. I supported, literally and figuratively the expectant parents. I went on doctor visits, shopping trips, hosted a shower...the list goes on and on. and then, joy of joy the baby came...and i continued to find favor with the new parents. i visited, i bought bottles, a $300 breast pump, I set up the nursery and made the curtains.

then i dared to open my mouth. what was i thinking. i got angry ( oh horrors) when the mom cancelled the babys well check up 2 times in one week. something about medicaid ( dont getme started). this is a 7 lb. baby, 6 weeks old, reflux, mom and dad have several strange health issues, this child needs to have her check ups on time. period. mom went for her 6 week check up. baby didnt. so I snapped, a little. Well, she told me i was overstepping, i had no rights, she was the mother and hung up on me. havent seen nor heard from her since, and havent seen my granddaughter in over a week. shit. so my son asked me to call her. i refused. then tonite I tried, went to voice mail. I texted: " Im sorry i offended you, i was trying to help, i will keep my mouth zipped. i miss the baby. " no responce. shit. sent the text to my son too in case he doesnt believe i sent it.

Oh well. my husband says they will need us before we need them, but thats not the point. i miss my granddaugher. what was i thinking.
