[quote=Anonymous]Why are you holding your father to a higher standard than the other grandparents? I know it's hard for the relationship to not be what you envisioned, but you have to have reasonable expectations as well. Your son and your father are different people. It's ok. I had one set of grandparents who were stiff and not really warm or emotionally open and I still loved them very much when I was younger. As I got older, I realized they taught me a great number of important things, even if they didn't wrestle with me on the ground. They taught me manners at the dining table and also how to be responsible with money. Not lessons a 5 year old is eager to learn, but I absorbed these things from them and I am very grateful about that. Anyhow, maybe find things they can connect about. Or just let it go. As your son gets older, he'll have more impulse control and perhaps then grandpa can find things to bond with him about.[/quote]
