Ny friend's son & his partner had a baby girl last year, making my friend a Grandmother for the 1st time. Last Christmas her son, sent her nothing for Christmas, not even a card. My friend just got back from a week-end visit (out West) which cost her over $1000.00. She doesn't have that kind of money but wanted to be there for the child's 1st birthday. (WHY she didn't wait 'til Christmas is a ridiculous answer I won't post). Last year, I bought her something which would be from the baby. I've done the same thing for this year too because I know she won't get anything from her son. This breaks my heart, & I don't know what to say to my friend.
Please don't think the son doesn't have any money. This is not the case.
I want to say something to her?

Reading this breaks my heart. I hope you tell your friend about this. Imagine what it would feel like if you were in her shoes? The truth hurts, but most of the time, the pain caused by honesty is better than of omission. Please tell her, and try to contact her son and his wife. (Make sure to tell the wife, so she'd guilt trip her husband). They probably had a misunderstanding, try to set up a date for them to meet. I hope that all goes well for you guys. God bless you.
