oh dear - this is a bit of a predicament - is this the only son and only grandson? If it is - I would say screw the wife- put up with her- ignore her- pretend you like her - whatever it takes to be able to spend time with your grandson - eventually he'll be old enough that he can some visit you instead of you visiting them - and in the meantime modern technology like skype makes keeping in touch and seeing them grow so much easier -- HarmyBoard LifeStyles

In reply to: jenks-who feels like she's in mourning 's message, "I need some cheer me ups! My son has transferred to work in Hilton Head, South Carolina. He leaves this Sunday to be there by himself until Thanksgiving when he will be back to get his wife and my only grandchild who is 4 years old, and the love of my life. I live in the Adirondacks of NYS so the trip is very long by car and very expensive by plane, plus renting a hotel to stay there. I have little use for the wife so I wouldn't stay with my son whom I love dearly. My heart is broken and I'm devasted. Any words of encouragement or wisdom out there?" on 08:39:01 09/16/14 Tue

[> [> Thanks, chris k. I already went out with my son and bought a new laptop to get Skype, but it won't be the samee as being able to hold him, hug him and give all the kisses I usually do. I hate to see him grow up on Skype. -- jenks, 15:23:41 09/17/14 Wed [1]
