What Do You Think?

How would you feel? Granddaughter asked what we could do for my daughters 25th anniversary etc. we decided not a meal with family as daughter wasn't enamoured, so have bought an iPad for them. We don't know what the son in law was going to do, heard nothing more from gdaughter even tho we had bought the iPad To give on behalf of us and the two grandchildren. Heard nothing more. Asked her via Facebook today as teed off not hearing anything, was told s in law sorted something but not told what. We have the iPad and no doubt granddaughter will collect n deliver but other than that nothing..now told that it's all sorted but only because I asked on Facebook. We are really fed up, thought she could have let us know because she wanted to involve us in the first place. Date is near Xmas for anniversary yet we were not informed until I asked today. Are we right in feeling miffed when she instigated it and yet we are still not sure what is happening? Just thought I would see what others think, thanks.

Dunnitall....what Sqad would do is almost exactly what I would do if I was excluded from something like this. I would send a bunch of flowers and card and I would spend the ipad dosh on a treat for myself.....☺

Hi sorry if I confused you. Anniversary is on my bday, granddaughter wanted to do a meal for their 25th but said too complicated because her mum, my daughter didn't want in laws there. So instead of us paying for that we bought an iPad for them tween us n grandchildren. Nothing heard since, I messaged gdaughter in Facebook today and she tells me her father has sorted a meal and that's that. All we hoped was that we were kept informed but we weren't told a thing until I messaged her on Facebook. Sorry it sounds trivial but we were really fed up knowing that we bought the iPad and told nothing else until I posted on fb. Guess I am just fed up with no contact, sorry to ask really, must be just me/us. Old duffer syndrome I think lol.
Thank you Anne, telephone is difficult as gdaughter lives at home and daughter answers phone and all was sposed to be a surprise. I think it will just be give them the iPad and forget anything else. Trouble is I am in gdaughters bad books it seems cos I am complaining...oh we'll it will all come out in the wash I guess. I love them dearly but feel so left out ATM.
Dunnitall - my step dad got re-married last Friday (my mother is dead, I call him dad and view him as my dad). Myself and my twin were effectively not invited to the wedding (his children with my mother and his new wife's children were invited). I wished him well but my twin sister is 'not talking to him', that's how things get out of hand (my sister is also being childish) - life is too short to take umbrage over things that really aren't that important.
