[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 540324, member: 14557"] I don't want to be pushy, but I would like to ask one more question from you. Did I understood correctly and your son isn't involved in his daughters life? If so, is it his choice or your granddaughters or her mothers? If he chooses to seclude himself both from his parents and his only(?) child, it is, to me at least, very telling. That is not normal behaviour (of course what is really normal is always a question.) In that case, it is not something you are doing. Has he always been this way and isolated himself or has been open and close with you when he was younger? Do you know what kind of social life he does have now? On the other hand with your granddaughter, her thoughtlessness in returning correspondence, not thanking, not having good manners with these matters, is common. Not nice thing of course, but kids and teens often have bad manners if they are not continuously taught, corrected when needed and reminded of good manners. If you suspect manners are not something her mother puts a lot of energy teaching to her, you should probably cut her some slack in judging her character based on her manners. [/QUOTE]
