[QUOTE="Fran, post: 300825, member: 3"] You have every right to not be a doormat to the moods and whims of any person including our own children and their spouses. I wouldn't sweat the small stuff and try to enjoy grandchild as much as possible. If mom is resistant to having you at her home, have son bring grandson to visit without her. I imagine son has a great deal of pressure from a soured marriage going on and probably doesn['t want or need added pressure of wife angry about his mother. I would probably remove myself from the situation and just smile and use the bobble head behavior as Suz always says. Let him vent but I wouldn't give advice since if they make up wife will think it was all your fault they had trouble. If son or his wife talk to you rudely or are hurtful, you should stand up for yourself and then excuse yourself from any marriage conversations. Don't be in the middle of their war. it's between two adults and you will never come out the winner. [/QUOTE]
