Hello everyone, I am not an English native speaker, so I am sorry in advance for any errors.
I'll try to give some context first so you can judge me fairly.
My parents left me (32F) with my grandparents when I was 7 months old. They where immigrants in another country and couldn't take care of me at the time because they couldn't afford a babysitter (at least is what my Mother tells...). They did the same with my sister (26F) but not the same with my brother (22M). We only ser each other during school holidays. We would travel to the country where my parents where or they would come on christmas ir summer. When I turned 15, they returned and we started living together. I won't like, my biggest dream turned into a nightmare and I tried my best but felt into a depression. It was a lot of drama, specially between me and my mother, that only worked for 3 years and decided to not work any more. For her me and my sister should do everything on the house. My father always stood beind my Mother even when they started drowining in debt and She still wouldn't work and help.
There is lot of drama that I won't be writting here because it would be too long.
But long story short, they never did the "sacrifices" a parent should do for a child and never Said "I am proud of you" or "I love you very much" 2018 when my sister left house and stop talking to them and I told them everything I felt thowards them (it was a big fighting)
So, 2024 I discovered I was pregnant and it was the best day of my life. I planned to tell the news to my parents when they were together, but as always my Mother was playing on her computer. My father was emotional and cryied, my Mother was more cold but congratulated me.
On october I threw a babyshower and begged my parents to come. They did, but only helped with the decoration in the morning then left. They didnt't Stay for the party (neither my brother. My sister is living outside the country and couldn't attend).
My baby girl was born on november, and after a month we started to invite close relatives to come. My parents ONLY Saw their granddaughter on february! After I begged them to see her. They didnt't call that much to check-in, ONLY my father from time to time.
I am so sad about the situation that I Said I would never invite them again. If they want see their granddaughter and Daughter they can and would be welcome, but from me, no more invitations since I am tired of never being important for them and never BE a priority.
My sister understands me and She says i have made the right thing. My Boy friend, since he knows all the drama and know my parents says i am doing what ia right for me and out Daughter.
But... A tiny parte of me feels I might be the asshole because after all, they are their grandparents.
So, AITAH?
P.s - my grandparents are still Alive and they are só happy for me, and my grandmother cried a lot. She calls to check on me and my Daughter, and I ONLY go to their house for them to see her because they can not drive. Their house is 1 km from my parents and I refuse to go to their house, because they don't make the effort.
Please wait...
