[QUOTE="stressedmama, post: 674629, member: 18412"] Thanks Leafy. I take what I can get as far as time for myself. I work full time and we have guardianship of S c's 4-year-old - my 2nd full-time commitment! I don't call it a job because he really is the light in our lives. To add insult to injury, his bio dad came to town Thanksgiving week. Our grandson has face timed with him over the years but he hasn't physically seen him in 2 years. And that was just for a day. GS was excited to see him, however, bio dad showed up with a wife and another child. We had no idea so had no chance to prepare GS for it. Bio dad and his parents were very rude, insulting and threatening when questioned as to why they didn't tell us. Said it was none of our business, bio dad's a man and he can do whatever he wants. OK. Whatever dude. We just would have suggested bio dad come to our home to spend time with GS alone for a little while first to establish a little one-on-one connection. They said we were just being controlling. If you consider looking out for this boy's best interest and taking care of him in the aftermath of their choices controlling, then so be it. The nerve! There is no court ordered visitation with anyone-just our guardianship so we have final say over everything. Bio dad's parents usually take GS 1 day every other weekend for the day. Any time they have asked for additional time, they have gotten it. They have never asked for an overnight, and at this point, we wouldn't allow it. GS won't let me out of his sight when we are home and the one time we tried an overnight with my parents, daughter and granddaughter, it was a total bust. We had to go pick him up at 10:30 pm and bring him home. He was inconsolable. He's just not ready. But we do take advantage of the time they have him to do things for ourselves. But wait! There's more! Bio dad decided the day before Thanksgiving to file a petition for visitation on behalf of his parents. He is "gifting" his "parental visitation" to his parents since he lives out of state. How can you gift something you don't have? Can't wait to see how this turns out. We still have to file our answer. I look forward to someday being drama-free. I can hope, right?! [/QUOTE]
