Is your mother affectionate with her grandchildren? Does she hug them or

tell them she loves them?

She is a little bit better with them but not much. I think my dad has pretty

much laid down the law with her where my kids and my nephews are concerned and

she can't really do anything to knock them out of the picture too. Plus my kids

are older and know the score. I encourage them to have a relationship with her.

They don't see her too much. My daughter is getting ready to go to Fla on

spring break and my mom has bought all this food for her and her friends to

take. It's too much really and a lot of it they won't eat. But that's my mom's

way of showing affection. My daughter has finally had to say " enough gramma " in

a nice way. But no, she really doesn't hug them to much and will say " i love

you " back only when they say initiate it. For the holidays, my daughter had to

ask if they could go out to their house and see them. I think my mother was a

little taken aback. They did go out for Thanksgiving but then when asked

to come out for Christmas too my mother wasn't

too keen on that. They did go (my kids and my nephews) but my mom really

didn't want them. Sad.
