[quote=Anonymous]The hard piece to grasp is that his inability to take time off is all about him, no reflection on how he feels about you and your child.

My mother adores my kids, was there in the hospital the day they were born.  She used to see them weekly and take care of them.  That has stopped because I have concerns about her driving.  Because of the change I have started making efforts for her to see them other ways.  It is like pulling teeth to get her to meet me out with the kids in any manner that is outside her routine and she is retired so there are minimal constraints on her time.

Seriously, my mom is in no way perfect but she would do anything for me or my kids if we needed something.  She is the definition of someone that shows up when you need them.  Yet, despite feeling secure in our relationship and with her feelings about my kids she sometimes turns down offers I make that are solely for the purpose of her getting to spend time with my kids. But baffles me but I have to remember that she is her own person with her own priorities that I need to respect even if I do. It agree with them.

Good luck.[/quote]
