Dear Annie: Son’s family taking a backseat after his marriage
Oct 16, 2024
Dear Annie: I have read the letters from the grandmothers who are feeling left out. I am in the same situation. My mother always told me that when your son marries, he will be more connected with the wife’s family. I have found that it is true. They have not forgotten us. We get our share of holidays and are acknowledged on birthdays, anniversaries, etc. But while their house has a wide selection of photos of her parents, nieces and nephews, etc., and all the events and trips they take together, there’s none of my son’s side of the family. I have had everyone at photo shoots and paid for pictures for everyone, but they are nowhere to be seen. Perhaps they are hanging in a closet.
