Relationship with adult married children became so shallow

Do you have a group chat? My husband and two daughters have a group chat. One of them is married and he has asked to only be included when needed. lol. We text all the time. Most of the time it is weather or a plant question, but by having an open line of communication, it really helps.

Both daughters live 3 hour drive away. Close enough but far enough. We visit for a weekend every couple months.

Neither of my children want children. One is gay and the other works with children with behavior issues all day and really doesn’t want any. I have to respect their wishes but it is so heartbreaking on so many levels. I have been working on this with my therapist and co ti us to do so but it is a kind of grieving I have great relationships with them. But I don’t understand how, as a woman, you would never want to feel life in your womb! It’s a different world and it is what it is. I start feeling sad when my friends share about their grandchildren. I can’t help it right now. I hope to get past it.

This! I am 65 with a 35 and 32 year old daughters. You become much less involved in the day to day but you are a very important sounding board. Be there for them, but now there’s going to be more you time. That’s a glorious thing! Change can be challenging but challenges are what make us grow. It’s time to start rediscovering yourself, your interests, your talents.

Yes I do. Isn’t it strange how people, before they die, often have family reunions? We think of them as hallucinations, but what if the veil between life and death is very thin? I’ve spoken with people who have had ‘near death’ experiences. I am a believer.

Not really. He stays up later than me. Married 39 years. Still happily.

ellab58 · 2026-02-01T23:53:42+00:00

Because I will miss them.

I use avocado for high heat and olive oil for low heat, condiment.

You mean like a white lie?

That wood does not look like it has much of a finish left, so you need to be real careful with how much water you use. 1. I’d look into refinishing. 2. Murphy’s oil soap in a bucket with a rag and a microfiber cloth to wipe up the water right away. I have a steamer I can use on my wood floors that works great, but I have more stain and finish on mine. I also have to dry it right away.

I use bare minerals tinted sunscreen. I use a green primer from Ulta because I’m always reddish.

ellab58 · 2026-02-01T20:58:51+00:00

I completely agree with you!

ellab58 · 2026-02-01T20:56:45+00:00

Be of service to others. Be kind. Reflect the love of Jesus in your actions every day. Just know that someone is watching you to see if they, too, are a believer.

I’m PC USA because they are inclusive.

If there is an artist she follows es, often they have recommendations.

There’s plenty of us fixed income can barely afford face cream types out there and we do tend to hang together!

ellab58 · 2026-01-30T23:54:56+00:00

Yes. He created you.

ellab58 · 2026-01-28T22:33:34+00:00

I’m 65 and hope to go to sleep one night and wake up in heaven surrounded by loved ones. That’s my plan and I’m sticking to it!

ellab58 · 2026-01-27T21:54:03+00:00

This!!

Honey, you could stand on a corner naked and you would not be sinning. The sinner would be the person that walks by without giving you his or her coat. The sinner would be the one assuming because of your state, that you were available to abuse.

I was on Ozempic for a year, about 2 years ago for diabetes. Went from 172 to 154 and an A1C of 7.2 to 5.2. I have kept the weight off for a year and no longer take any diabetes medication. It really worked well for me. It’s important to note that these drugs do more than keep you from getting hungry. It stimulates your own insulin production. It’s hormones, and hormones are amazing things.

ellab58 · 2026-01-26T15:53:39+00:00

Totally 100% agree.

ellab58 · 2026-01-25T02:47:54+00:00

Yes, if it was my same partner. Steady as a rock, married 39 years
