[quote=Anonymous]I was in the exact same situation and it took me years to come to grips with it.

Divorced parents who live alone and grandfather very interested in grand-kids.  Spends lots of time with them.  Reality is that he was only on OK father and is a much better grandfather.

Mother is strange bird when it comes to her grandchildren.  She is on social media (mostly facebook) and follows posts about kids and the kids pages themselves.  Kids used to call her once a week but she never called them. [ie it was a one way street].  I stopped forcing kids to call and they speak a couple of times a year at best.  If you talked to her however she is a great grandmother and has a "special" relationship with my daughter. I know thats not true, 14 yar old daughter knows its not true.

I tried a number of times to tell her that her behavior was not that of a loving grandmother.  She said that it was a great relationship from her prospective and had no desire to change it.

O'h well she is missing out as far as I'm concerned but once I let it go I felt a whole lot better.  [/quote]
