@lillynellasmom that's what I said, the son could have found his own way. Heck, his parents could have dropped him off before they left. If they wanted to see you guys they could have made the trip. The bad knees become an excuse when they are driving down your way to pick up a friend.

@sweetsap88 he can drive himself he is 17 maybe 18 now and like his mom and dad are leaving him home alone too so like why could they stay at least tomorrow and say we came down for both not just him or we wouldnt even have came like thanks for make her you second choice.

Yup, I'd feel some type of way. The same way they wanted you guys to drive there, their friend's son could have found transportation there. Just like how they made the sacrifice to come get the friend's son, they could have made the sacrifice to come see my children.

@selena_lalu yeah it getting crazy now because so many people are moving here.

@keebs it not an emergency situations i mean his parents are going out of town and just leaving him home alone. If this just happen i know they would just leave him home alone.

It was an emergency situation with a friend passing. They didn’t know when they asked you to come down that that would happen to the young man. It wasn’t done intentionally.

@lillynellasmom, oooh I love Austin!

@selena_lalu Austin

@lillynellasmom, San Angelo. You?

@selena_lalu yeah they do. I dont see how they can do that once my mom found out i was pregnant the first time even thought she was mad she came down almost ever other weekend to see my daughter. After se was born i al most couldn't get rid of her lol still cant i mean if she goes one day she like what wrong? So she has a better with my family. I have tried but i am not going to try anymore if they come see her they come and she can see them when we can go see them. Hell if you go to San Antonio you would be close for me!! I would come see you. Lol yeah do what best for your family. Were in Texas were you born?

@lillynellasmom, oh okay. I’m a military wife and feel like our mindsets are very similar. I’ve been in WY for 6 years like I said, and not ONE of my family members have ever visited me. I do understand that 12 hrs is far away and sometimes they struggle with money, but gosh damn. I’ve driven and flew to Texas about 20 times the past 6 years to visit them, and not ONE damn time has the love ever been given back. My husband recently got to choose orders to San Antonio, or Phoenix AZ. And I considered San Antonio to be 3 hrs away from family, thinking now they’ll visit forsure. Then I decided I wanted to do something cool for my family since we’re still young, so we’re moving to Phoenix 😎.
They didn’t want to visit before, so no need to take them into consideration. Plus we can move to Texas later in life (that’s where I was born and raised). Family sucks sometimes 😑 lol

@selena_lalu No i was an oil field wife now a mechanics/ manager wife lol

@selena_lalu yes but it makes me sad because my daughter always ask to go see them and we go when we can and we've asked him to come down here and every time they say they're going to they change their minds or they go to their friend's house and then they don't spend time with her and then they get mad that they don't have quality time with her they want her to also spend the night but I mean she barely even spend the night with my mom without sometimes calling and asking to come back to me and they live 2 hours away and I know if they take her and she starts crying and wants to come home I'm the one who's going to have to drive to go get her they will not bring her back and they don't understand that. That's also why it pisses me off that they can do all this other stuff and won't come down here to get that quality time so she can go to their house yes and no she's okay and safe and get to know them better.

@lillynellasmom, are you a military wife?

@lillynellasmom, oh okay, well I would definitely be in my feelings about that! I go through similar shit with my sister. I’ve lived in Wyoming for 6 years and she’s never visited me (she lives in Texas). Yet every few weeks she’ll drive to visit her boyfriend who she’s been with for one year to visit him while he’s on his work days (he works in the oil field so he’s gone for 28 days at a time). Granted her driving to see him is 3 hrs to and from. And driving to see me is 12 hrs to and from. Just pisses me off that in 6 years I haven’t had one visit, but in one year she’s drive to be with him 4 times (and yes they live together on his off days). She’s even driven to New Orleans to meet his family. I get salty af, but just let it go cause people will go out of their way for who they want, and that’s when they show their true intentions and colors being apart of your life.
