I love my mother and in the last year she has been through a whole lot. She lost her mother in Dec.07 and her son in May 08.A friend of hers also lost his son in July of 08. But I seem to have a problem.I have noticed lately that my mother willingly goes to my sisters house which is an hour away from my mom or she will go to my step brothers house who lives 4 hours away. But in over a year she has only been to my place 3 times. Am I just jealous or do I not invite her enough? I always ask her to come see me and the kids. I am only 30 mins. away from her and she still doesn't come over.I know this seems petty but I am having a real problem with it. I don't want to say anything to her incase of upsetting her. She has been through so much.But what else can I do? Just let it go? Anyone have any advice out there?

I don't think you're being petty. Try inviting her over more for...for lunch or dinner...or anything else you can think of. If she refuses more than she accepts than you may have a problem that you and your mom need to sit down and talk about but try the invites first. She may not realize that she is making you feel neglected.
