[quote=Anonymous]I am not sure how much YOU can do, but you can support and encourage you spouse to leave Skype videos for them regularly, to ask them what kinds of things they'd enjoy doing when they come out over the summer, and updating them on the little things in his life. He can and should ask them about their activities and the things they like/enjoy. The more he can have a relationship that is not mediated by XW, the more likely they are to value and appreciate his awareness and efforts of their lives. I also think that you may all want to think about ways to make the summer fun for them. As crazy as it sounds, would it make a difference to plan a trip? Join a pool for them? Could you encourage the teen to bring a friend? The more you can do to make them excited to see you both, the more likely it is that they will grow closer to you and the new baby.[/quote]
