Rejected

I am having this problem yet because my children are still too young.

Great timing on this one! I have a sixteen year old Junior in college preparatory high school and an eighteen year old freshman at an elite engineering school. I met the kids at a three day concert last weekend and only saw them when I drove them too and from the venue! We were scheduled to drive out to visit my daughter and take her to dinner on Sunday and she said that she has a college hike scheduled! My wife asked her if we could meet her before or after and my daughter said she didn't knowhow long it would take. My daughter was like this in high school as well: Busy with homework, marching band, DECA, Concert band, more homework, special school societys, tennis and soccer so it didn't come as much of a surprise when she adapted this same life style in college.

I have one adult son (35 years old) who lives thousands of miles away.  For me, I would love it if he would call more, or for that matter, just a simple text every now and then to say hi mom, love you.   But then when he does call we can talk for an hour or more.   Last year on my birthday he had arranged with my husband to take me out to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, I argued with my husband about going, we didn't need to spend that kind of money.  Husband finally broke down and told me my son had already arranged with the restaurant to put the bill on his card.  He explained to them it was a birthday present.  Have to admit the staff went above and beyond.  Son had even arranged to have one of my favorite after dinner drinks sent to the table.   Was one of the sweetest things he's done.     Like I said, would love a bit more contact but when he does something for me it's over the top.  Got to love our kids.   I also try to take the attitude that everything must be going okay or he'd call.

Well, if I did have kids, I would only feel rejected if they kept telling me they didn't care about what would be happening to me.
