Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:11:29 GMT

Dear Amy: When our son and his wife announced their pregnancy (our first grandchild) it was at an event held at her folks’ house. They announced that her mother was going to be a grandmother for a fourth time, completely leaving us out and never mentioning us, even though we were there.Later, we had a talk with them. We told them that we were upset about how the announcement was made, but we understood that they didn’t mean to hurt us.We asked them to please keep in mind that their child will have two sets of grandparents.They seemed genuinely stunned and were very sorry. We forgave them, moved on, and never mentioned the episode to anyone.Her mother became more distant and cold toward us.

We were not acknowledged.I must have looked hurt. Her parents then exploded at us, threatening violence and cal...
