[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 368567, member: 1514"] When my kids were little my mom would only help with my oldest son, she flat hated my two youngest and called them all kinds of nasty names and refused to help a bit with them. My Dad respected every thing I did for the boys but he lived a good distance away so he could only offer emotional support. Now that I am the grandparent, I can understand the way we feel a bit different about each kid. Not that we love them anymore or any less but in different ways. Keyana is my first and she is my princess. She will probably always have that special place in my heart as the first. (Unless she turns into a difficult child!) Hailie is her momma and Cory wrapped up in one little firecracker package! The mental health gene didnt miss that one! She is doomed. Michael I think is Jamie up one side and down the other except he seems a bit more laid back. I dont see the hyperactivity in him yet but then Jamie didnt start with his ADHD symptoms until around 18 months so there is time...lol. In a perfect world, I would have all my grandkids living 2 doors down from me and I could take over and help their parents every time they needed help. Its not a perfect world. I get to do that help with my oldest but two youngest live about 320 miles away. If I win the lottery..... [/QUOTE]
