[QUOTE="HopeRemains, post: 533884, member: 14139"] Janet- She is good with him- they do fun things like fishing and she is always working on something he can "help" with. That's the reason initially I thought- hey, this is going to work out well! But it was a reality check when she spoke with me this weekend and I realized that the repercussions might not be worth it. I think you are right, that I am just going to have to suck it up, even if it makes them both behave a little worse when we are over there. I'm not sure quite how much influence she has when we are back home. It takes him an adjustment period no matter where he goes when we get back home. I think it probably benefits him more than hinders, after considering things, because a good day with Grandma beats a bad day with me, hands down. If my worries turn out to be valid and she's causing more trouble than good, we can always cut the visits down or out. Time will tell. And the family who matters knows our situation and will not just condem us because of what she might say, so I should not worry about that, either. I am glad that your Granddaughter gets to come for the summer, how exciting! [/QUOTE]
