SEEING MY GRANDSON IN HOSPITAL

Marylane, how wonderful that you had that quality time with gs! Tbh, I'm happier for him than for you. It's obvious he needed something like this. I hope the friend provides some attention and enjoyment for him, too. But I don't get why his mum/your daughter isn't spending more time with him or why she doesn't have you around him more, at this time, if you can bring him such joy.

Best wishes for his successful surgery and speedy recovery.

One hour of quality time was wonderful for both you and your DGS .
Fingers crossed you may get some more time in the very near future Marylane
I also wish your DGS well for his op on Thursday.

I understand how you feel
We haven't seen our 18 month old grandson since last November .
Every time we ask to see him there is always an excuse. I still have some Xmas presents for the little one from other family members and it's nearly Easter!

Last Monday our son and little grandson were due to come see us whilst some work was been done in grandsons bedroom
However the Saturday before the visit our other DGS who we childmind caught chicken pox so the much awaited visit was called off in case we passed the infection on to DGS .

It would have been the first time in over 12 years that we would have seen our son without his wife. (Hope that doesn't sound bad, it is just a fact).

I know we are so Lucky to see our other DGS often but what we would give to just see our little DGS even for a short while .

I am pleased you managed to get the hour playing with him. I just can't understand your daughter. Have you sat her down and asked her exactly what the problem is and why she treats you this way? She must have some reason for why she restricts your visits to so few and she doesn't sound very caring where you are concerned at all. Did you have problems between you before your grandson was born? It sounds as though you are always scared of confronting her. I know that feeling with my own DD, and I think two or three times before I dare voice my views! Young people today are so different to the way we were towards our parents. Not that my DD is so young now, she's over 40 and should be more considerate! Just saying this so you know you aren't alone with difficult D's.
