[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 626550, member: 1514"] I flat let my boys know when the grands were in the womb that I would not be blackmailed. No one has ever tried. I think I am a good grandmother. Actually we are good grandparents and everyone knows it would hurt the children horribly to keep them away from us. It probably does help that we have been in their lives since birth. Monkey stayed overnight at our house when she was 11 days old. She lived more than half of her first year at my house. That child would be devastated if she could no longer see us. Same with Nookie. Of course, Jamie's kids dont see us as often because they live much farther away but we are looking forward to being able to have them for a week or two each summer now that they are a bit older. In fact the plan for this summer is that they will come down for a week and then Monkey will travel back up to their house for a week. Im absolutely thrilled they are getting old enough to do this. I am lucky that for the most part I am considered just one more parental unit in these kids lives. My kids feel that they can only benefit from having as many people love them in this world as possible. [/QUOTE]
