Re: Family drama

IMO no harm to let the kids talk at the time. The 8 y/o is old enough to handle the phone. I assume they have cell phones. Five minutes and done and everybody continues on and no family drama. The 8 y/o could hold the phone for the 3 y/o. I know that because that is how my grands did it when they were little, the older one held the phone for both of them. If they couldn't handle it, one of the other adults could have.

We live away from our DD so they spend every other holiday with us and yes, many times his parents called duriing meals and I really didn't give it a second thought. The kids were excited to talk to them and I was happy they got to talk to them.

I have no doubt his parents have a completely different story to tell.

Sometimes (most times) we have to bite our tongues and roll with things we may not agree with to keep peace and not feed into whatever is irritating our child. Listen, but no need to add fuel.

JMO of course.

Respectfully asking @RetRN , why does @sabatini need to move on? None of us are experts here, and I tend to agree with her opinion.

@San Antonio Gal, not a problem.

@sabatini Amen Sister. And that carries on to the grandkids. You will not only miss times with your son but you might not have access to the grandchildren if you don't walk her line. Do I sound bitter?

Not at all, dear friend. Just experienced.
