[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 686827, member: 19617"] This is what I do with my grandkids. When they are with me, I try to be the best influence possible during the time I have them and do things to comfort them, build them up, encourage them, help them, teach them. Just as you are doing with playing with your grandson, he recognizes that he likes you and he will remember it and maybe ask to come more. He is learning to respect and love you. He sees your values and interests, and the impact you are having on him. That will stick with him at some level. That is all you can do, make the most positive benefit of the time you are in control. You are not in control of any other place and people. Sometimes it is hard for me because I work full time and when they are with me for days at a time, I get very tired of the constant efforts to attend to them, but I know the years rush by quickly and we must redeem the time and opportunities when they are with us. For your own peace and sanity, release any expectations of your daughter and the father, just offer what you can and want to do for and with your grandson, and do what you can for your grandson when you have him in your loving care. Give thanks for those times and build your relationship with your grandson. Take care. Kalahou. [/QUOTE]
