[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]During the school year, my son just can't seem to find/make time for me to see my grandchildren. Sometimes they come to dinner at our home on Sunday afternoons when I invite them, but it's a rare occasion - their weekends are always "very busy".  They invite me to dinner at their home during the school week, but I don't want to/like to fight the traffic to get there after school lets out, only to stay a couple hours. I don't live close.. I haven't seen my grandkids in almost a month, and it makes me sad. I see them often in summer, but during school, they always seem to have plans over the weekend. My husband works much more than his wife, so I know that's part of it. My son works so much that when he's off, he stays busy doing things for his home and family. Probably gives his wife a break too. He doesn't seem to have time to bring them to see me. Funny thing is, my DIL can always find time to see her parents when my son is working, and brings the kids along. We've tried to work on our relationship many times, but we are just opposites. I wish she would bring the kids to me more, but I don't think she feels it's her duty.

But I'm jealous. Parents out there, how can I see my grandkids more during the school year?[/quote]

You're invited to go there, but don't.  What more can you hope for?  You definitely sound like the problem in this relationship [/quote]
