Another gt nephew was born today
I had a gt niece born 2 weeks ago, and yes you have guessed it I heard about it on "face book".

I can be visiting my sister which I do most days, and she will not tell me anything. I didnt know about my niece's divorce for over a year, when I asked her in passing how they were. I had not commiserated with my niece at all and when I told her I didnt know she was very cross with her mother. I find you are expected to know because THEY know!

Sue, lovely that you have two new family members but what a shame the young people or at least their parents, don't pass on news directly. Jean, I am glad your niece ticked her Mum off for not telling you of the divorce, but how silly of your sister to be like that.
My o.h. is very close with his son's news - I almost have to drag it out of him sometimes, and sometimes he will say it's nothing to do with me! Fine, but when they want help who do they come to? Muggins!
He has always been slow to tell me things yet any old rubbish from his works I hear about that night!

Must be sad for you Joan, to have to watch the little one's progress ont he site instead of from a friendly chat from your d.i.l. or son.

My immediate family are very good at passing on news, children/Grandchildren, but niece and great nieces and their children, that is very difficult, but it is all one family, my sister's and she has trouble finding out their news too because they live in London and she doesn'e, they are always, out of battery on their mobiles etc.

Dear All

Hello

For me, it doesn't take that long or cost too much to talk to someone
or send a small card or letter.

I think that is what is missing today.

More technology but not enough communication.

Best wishes to you all
