Its not “our children don’t want us to see their kids”. A bit more complex than that, sorry. And the the grandkid is in Alabama. The wife and I always have spirited, but calm, disagreements and its looks like I won this debate. Unfortunately :<((((((
Thanks all for the responses.
My daughter and her husband’s mother have some deep problems between them. She’d once said I don’t want my kids around her. What I told her is that regardless of how she feels about her husband’s mother, she shouldn’t keep the children from her, at least in cases of holidays, birthdays, the occasional weekend stay, etc.
She can ‘deprogram’ the kids when they get home if she has to. Otherwise, it would do nothing but create more problems with the grandmother, and even worse problems with her husband.
