[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 523727, member: 65"] Thank you for all the wonderful advice and support. I saw Mom yesterday and she's back to her old self ....and feeling guilty cuz she wasn't so nice. Mom and easy child are very, very close. Mom was easy child's daycare provider. Mom said she just got so overwhelmed with fear of losing him forever that she couldn't see straight. She thinks K is wonderful and easy child has never looked happier and she's glad. And Mom is under a lot of stress with the Grandparents, especially Grumpus. No matter what she does to try to make life nice for him - he's grumpy and doesn't like it. She brings him in a special treat meal and he throws it in the garbage. She makes him home-made cookies and he doesn't like them. And so on.... Of course, I'm mean - I don't go out of my way anymore for him. Mom however, isn't like that. She keeps trying. It's what makes her so special. Now, Mom is getting a small break next week. She and Dad are going to Difficult Child for the Submarine Ball. They are hoping that this is the year that Dad gets to cut the cake. (The oldest sailor there gets to cut the cake - he missed by 2 months last year). Then they are going to visit my Aunt and cousins for a day. She's really looking forward to that. Of course, she's feeling bad that I have to take care of Grandma. Heck, I'm not worried about it. I've taken a few days off of work and I know where Grandma wants to go... the Casino. So I've loaded some new books on my Kindle and we will go off each day. If we stay for a few hours we get a free dinner too. So, no cooking, reading time and Grandma will be happy. All is good from my point of view. [/QUOTE]
