[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would it be possible to leave the TV off? Maybe, the house rules become that there is no TV while you have guests (rule directed at your child), so that everyone can engage in conversation. Or, go somewhere together. Even if grandpa is sitting on bench, there's a greater chance he'll engage your son.[/quote] Well, that's a source of tension. MIL wants it off when our son is visiting FIL doesn't. His only real interest is golf, watching and playing. We bought him a putting practice thing to do with DS, they haven't tried yet. Most of me understands, he had kids older, worked hard and is retired. The emotional part of me wants him to have a relationship with his grandson. I think I will invite them over more (though he has never come in the past) and maybe I'll give them a second tv. [/quote]
