[quote=Anonymous]Makes me sad. We live far and it's not a big deal or issue, but at this last visit it's clear that this is not the grandson he wants.  My son (5) is loud and high energy (not hyper though I'm sure my dad feels he is).  He is sweet and I adore him and would love for my dad to adore him too.  But my dad wants a more thoughtful grandson he can bond with on nature walks and in quiet talks (me and my siblings were quiet kids, relatively, growing up).  And that's never going to be my son who  takes more after my husband's family and is rambunctious and just not prone to sitting still or observing - he wants to do.  My dad was testy with him even about something like getting pizza sauce on his shirt when he was eating!  There were a couple of hours when my son was being truly obnoxious, but mostly he was just being who is he.

Now my son will never know the difference, but I see how my friends' kids are just adored for who they are by their grandparents and feel wistful that my son won't have that (his other grandparents aren't really in the picture and my mom, post-divorcee, is all about herself).  [/quote]
