I JUST DON’T KNOW
I don’t know why I am such a miserable bitch.
We had to go to my son’s for his stepson’s birthday party.
I couldn’t relax and enjoy myself.
I just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.
We ate.
I spoke to my other son in the living room.
Hubby came to join us.
Then my DIL.
Then my other son.
We talked. Then my DIL start talking about her son and how he doesn’t do well in school. She is going to get a tutor – during the summer too. I started to say that it would be summer and she should let him just enjoy it. She is after him every minute.
Then I heard my son whisper to my DIL that his son doesn’t like to go back and forth every week. It just breaks my heart. I don’t know what the answer is. Her children just visit their father every other weekend. I have no idea where my grandson would rather be. I left. It is just too upsetting for me so I prefer to not hear or see anything.
I wish I could have a better attitude but I don’t and I guess I don’t want to. I just want to be left alone.
Where is the parents concern for the child? Sounds like he is a pawn and something they can argue over. I think the child should be number one in their lives. He should be the #1 priority. That child deserves a say in all of this. Will keep your grandson in my prayers. Love,

Maybe your grandson needs some therapy, he might not be handling the situation well, how old is he again?

It’s not you, it’s the situation. It must be so difficult to hear and watch your grandchild’s life be unstable.

It’s something that is out of your hands. When you are calm, is it possible to recommend a disinterested third party speak with your son to find out where he feels more comfortable and how he feels about the shuttling back and forth. It also depends on his age. ryn: I love to walk-just not on the track. As long as I am going somewhere I can easily walk 3 miles or so when the weather permits.

It is my belief that as long as the parents are doing what is safe and healthy for the child, then they should be the ones making hte decisions. You can be a great Grandmother by being there for him, when possible, and by listening to him . Grandmothers always have different roles than mothers have ; been that way since the beginning of time. Hope everything goes well after all th

It is heartbreaking to see or hear stuff like this for our own grandchildren, that’s for sure.
