[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that working is a scapegoat.  He doesn't want to deal with your kid several times a month.  Or, he doesn't like the change to the household (wife paying him less attention, etc) when your kids is there.  It isn't PC to say that he doesn't want your kid at his house.

Another scapegoat potential - does he like your DH? Is this his way of putting down your DH for not being good enough for his little girl since he can't "support her"?  Yes, an old fashioned view, but also quite possible.  Or, could he be the one speaking as well on behalf of your mom who might love you and her grandchild but is feeling a bit overburdened?

If you and your mom have a strong relationship, have you or can you talk to her?  "Mom, I love the time we spend together and the time you spend with grandson.  I'm so incredibly grateful for all of your help and support.  Is it too much for you, though? Dad doesn't seem happy and I want to make sure that I'm not taking advantage of you in your retirement years."[/quote]
