What to do when a daughter will not talk to you

I am very sad that my youngest daughter still will not talk to me. She is 32 yrs old and I feel like I want to slap her sometimes but she is SO stubborn and strong willed. This situation is so stupid but she "stuck" her nose where it didn't belong. That's why my "DH" always says, "Mind ya business". He's funny sometimes. He say's I have enough of my own problems to be in someone's elses. HA!!!!

Hmmmm Lefty . . . so sorry for the big misunderstanding!!! Phewwwww! Things sure can explode sometimes.

About the grands . . . I live within 3 miles of mine . . . even so, I sometimes send them a small package in the mail or a note . . . they LOVE getting mail. One gift I've given is the monthly kids activity magazine, or a series of skate lessons. They'll really appreciate stuff like that and it doesn't spoil them.

When I talk to my daughter, the background noise from the kids IS very distracting too. . . but my job is to offer encouragement. When she wants my advice, she asks for it. I find it very difficult to draw that line. I do remember how overwhelming being a mom of youngsters could be at times.

I hope things mend for you and your daughters Lefty . . . that is a very difficult thing to be so far away from your kids and the grands.

Blessings!

 Rosie,

Lefty . . . sounds like a plan!!! The activity magazine will be a monthly reminder to your grands how much you love them.

Also, the post office has a flat rate priority mailer. I take one home and save flat items that will mail easily. They used to be $3.00 to mail . . . but the trick is that you can put as much in there as it will hold and it is still the same rate to mail it. The dollar store has sticker sheets, cling ons for the windows, play money, those flat balsa wood or styrofoam airplanes, story books, etc. The kids also enjoy seed packets. I buy green beans and peas . . . stuff that grows fast.

Have fun!!!! Don't wait for a big thank you or excitement . . . it happens when they open it and it is more of a warm fuzzy for the kids. When they are older they will remember back on it and it will make them smile again. You can also send them a self-addressed, stamped envelope and tell them you'd like some of their star papers from school and a drawing.

Blessings!
