I admit to being jealous when my mil called. She was at her other son’s house and all 3 of their kids came home for the weekend. Mine live far and wide and we don’t get together often.
But then I remember that I wanted my kids to do what they want and not keep them close. The fact that bil’s kids are having trouble flying the nest and being self supporting. Mine are off our payroll and doing great. That’s what we hope for, right?
Social media. One weekend my D posted a bunch of pictures of her doing this and that. She was having so much fun! She called on Monday. She had a terrible weekend, even cried about the miserable awful weekend she had. I can’t even tell what was going on with my own D, and I know her pretty well.
That’s how false and misleading social media can be.
