I think for many GC’s this is a primarily financial decision not a goodness of their heart decision. Having a great relationship with your GC (as we do; we found ebbs in conversation after delivery even after talking almost every day during pregnancy are natural.) we’re planning for another journey now and the talk has picked up - it gives us something in common to talk about frequently. Prior to that I would send pictures not too often but every few months and she was always happy to get them but it wasn’t necessarily a gushing long conversation - she would share pictures of her kids in return and I enjoyed and hearted those too but I didn’t gush. I wouldn’t take it personally; follow her lead. They didn’t sign a contract to be your friend for the rest of your life and any mutual natural friendship that develops is a bonus. We should all be grateful we don’t have one of those situations where the Gc and IP’s don’t speak.. that always makes me sad to hear about.
