[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think you really need to let go of your expectations. [b]The perfect grandparent-grandmother relationship will not happen for most of us![/b] It didn't for me, and is not happening for my kids, for various reasons: my grandparents where all too far away. One of my children's grandmother is too ill. The other quite toxic. I am just grateful that my parents and in-laws love my children, even if they rarely see each other. [/quote] So true. Don't get suckered into thinking the bond is like those picture books - grey-haired, bespectacled grannies smiling and quilting while a toddler brings over a handful of wild flowers. My mother is not what I would call a great grandmother to DC, if I compare her to an idealized version, but in her own nutty, flawed way she loves them and they love her.[/quote]
