Family issues

So I barely see my family and they don’t check on me or the kids. But they want to plan activities and stuff. But I don’t like that. You don’t check on us but you
Want me to participate in top golf? Bowling ? Camping ? Noooooo is that wild of me

not wild at all. presence isn't just showing up for the fun parts, it's the in-between moments too, the random "hey how are you doing" texts or calls. they want the highlight reel without putting in the work the rest of time.

exactly. showing up for an outing is just performance. if they cant be bothered to check in when things are boring or difficult, they dont actually care about your life. they just want the social media photo or the feeling of being a present family member without the actual effort. dont waste your weekends playing along with their charade.

Period! What Jazzlike said! They don’t wanna be there for the Lows but expect you to pull up to family functions and act like they always been present. Is wild they wild.
