[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grandma needs to get told that if she keeps complaining about this, he'll switch to wanting to spend NO time with her at all.[/quote]

Who treats people like that?   That’s just plain cruelty.

I like someone’s idea of having grandma coming over to their house.   I’m sure she’s lonely and  he has more of a social life.

How far is her house?    If it’s close maybe a weekly breakfast or lunch or dinner, whatever works for his schedule .    It’s a tough transition when the grandkids are too busy.  [/quote]

It is not cruel to tell someone to stop being emotionally manipulative! It’s not cruel to explain that continuing to do this will make others avoid being a situation where you can subject them to this.

Boomers need to realize that you can’t treat people like crap just because you are a boomer.  Not recognizing that a teenager isn’t going to want to spend every weekend at grannies and then being a jerk about it to the kid s just really selfish, bad  yet typical boomer behavior! [/quote]

Don't blame boomers for this bad granny behavior!  He's a teen with his own life, friends, intensified academics, activities/sports. 50% of free time functionning as granny's escort /partner/ friend is absurd.   We're boomers and some BIL/SIL boomers have elementary school aged GC very active in sports and other endeavors.  What happens?  They go to games and eat with the families.  [/quote]
