[QUOTE="Fran, post: 369759, member: 3"] gvcmom, I am polite. For whatever amount of days it is I am polite and not involved emotionally. I treat them like any guest to my home. I have been doing this for about 13yrs and it is a much less stressful when they visit. I just keep it light. It's amazing how much better I feel. They are never going to be a support or even involved in the grandkids lives. I don't expect it now. I wouldn't expect it from any other house guest. It's disengagement. Good luck. Oh, and take a nap every day for 2hrs. Even if you aren't sleeping, go to your room and close the door. It's a lifesaver for me. [/QUOTE]
