[quote=Anonymous]We have this with the absentee dad who is now, of course, an emotionally awkward absentee Grandpa. And his spouse (who only came into the family when grandkids started to be born) marches in and demands all of the perks that the active grandmothers have: inclusion in the holiday rotation, pictures on the wall. It's quite irksome when he's never made the least bit of an effort to have a relationship with the kids. He shows up for dinner twice a year. It's really not the same thing as frequent visits, occasional babysitting and taking care of the kids while the parents have a weekend away now and then.[/quote]
