It’s OK Face. I know she needs to feel like she’s “in charge” of “her son”. Plus, her husband has the week off, so they’ve been sharing him between themselves.

I sent her a text last night, asking for Grandma time, and today, at 8am, hubby woke me up with “There’s a grandson here to visit you!” Then he couldn’t stop laughing because I was out of bed so fast! I had him for 20 mins., while she took her dogs out. Then my arm went numb, so I gave him back. ;-)
When her hubby goes back to work, she will need me to help more.

It’s a fine line I am walking so that I don’t interfere, but it’s the right thing for me to do.

You can only do what the situation and your instinct tell you. It was difficult for me to spend so many years away from my grandsons, but I never interefered or fought with her about her choices.

My grandsons don’t know me, but that’s ok. I love them, anyway.

Just enjoy the time you have with Marshall, and keep loving your daughter. It’s all you can do. ;o])

You’ll be fine.
