[quote=Anonymous]You have to meet them where they are. Go to the kids’ activities where that’s appropriate. Ask if you can make or order dinner sometimes so you can all sit down together. Make things easier for the parents so they have more time. Have grandkids show you what they are interested in, and be interested in those things. When my youngest was deep in a Star Wars phase my mother watched all the movies and used Claude to help her get the main points of the shows etc. My son loved talking to her about that. Join in their games. Maybe they don’t want to play Monopoly but they will play video games or Unstable Unicorns. I also noticed this: [/b] But then once back at their house, it was difficult to get any meaningful time with the grandkids or my son.[b] What about DIL? You didn’t mention quality time including her. It sounds like she works. Are you expecting her to make things happen? Do you have a good relationship with her? [/quote]
