[QUOTE="joneshockey, post: 368626"] JJJ - Yes, he does have grandparents who live here in town, however they are having a lot of difficulty dealing with the fact that B2 actually has special needs - They are still in denial over this. This time of year is the most challenging for me to have them do things with him, since they are gone vacationing alot (since they are both retired). I also have a hard time when they do take B1 because they already treat B1 differently (1st grandchild syndrome). They have NEVER taken B2 anywhere by himself and he definately sees the favoritism even at age 3 1/2. In a perfect world it would be GREAT if they would take B2 so that I could have time with B1 alone, and give me a much needed break, but I know at this point that will not happen! Anytime B1 goes with his grandparents alone B2 gets VERY upset and angry. I definately see what you are saying and would LOVE to have it work, but it puts me in a hard place... dealing with even more anger and aggression from B2! As for my other friends who live here in town... They have all pretty much left me out to dry! None of them want to have the kids around B2 and always seems to make excuses when I call to try to arrange playdates. If you have any suggestions on what I should try or how to approach the grandparents on this, I would welcome your responses! [/QUOTE]
