We have a birthday party tomorrow for my husband's "cousins" daughter and I'm going empty handed (aside from a card). I know giving is not about receiving, but I'm tired of going out of my way for these people and they can't even be bothered to pick up the phone when we call or attend anything for our daughter.
@reevespartyof4 I said to my husband, I will always get our nieces gifts for holidays and birthdays because they're our nieces. But this party isn't even technically family. We're Puerto Rican so we tend to have "cousins" that aren't blood. That's who this is for a "cousins" daughter. I've only met her a handful of times myself because it seems if the event isn't for them they don't show up. I wouldn't know what to get her anyway and I just don't see a point.
I’m starting for feel this way about my husbands Mom side of the family. We show up to almost everything we get an invite too and they can’t bother to show up for anything. The last 2 years they haven’t shown up for a birthday party or anything along that line. It’s just irritating so I totally get it!
yes I'm a single mom and yes my daughter is going to have my last name I refuse to give my daughter the name of a BOY who doesnt want to take care of his responsibilities! ....problem ?

WE ARE GOING HOME TOMORROW💜
I'm so inlove with my daughter!!!!

Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
I need some advice my ex and I broke up November 27th and we haven't gotten along at all since we have fought almost ever day since we broke up and its about everything but our daughter. Now I have this great opportunity to move to New York with my sister and work in one of the biggest hospitals. He is telling me I can't take my daughter with me when this move can benefit from my kids and me. I've decided I'm going to go means I will be leaving in 2 months. But he's telling me if I leave he will...
@emily526, yeah i completely get it! We always get our nephew birthday gifts or Christmas gifts. My kids unfortunate don’t really know him or his parents, they never have time for us. They are always spending time with my sister in laws family. It defiantly makes life hard when you have family blood or not that’s doesn’t like to be involved
