Really ladies!!! Are you willing to compromise the person you are because of the immaturity of your AC. I spent half my life living for my children and enjoyed every minute of it. Our goal as parents is to raise the children the best we can and hope that they carry it on. If they don't and become spoiled, selfish, immature young adults it is not your responsibility I am not saying we did not contribute to them being spoiled but it has to stop somewhere. I for one plan on living my life for God, myself and my husband now that all children are gown and gone. I have 2 beautiful grandsons that I adore but my life does not revolve around them, that is the job of the parents.

I really don't think you can make comments until you have raised children to be the adults you want (wanted) them to be. You can be Super Mom but boys will be boys and follow the woman they are involved with. The lack of respect comes from the DIL's background and the power she has over the son. This is sooooo common as I read through the posts, what a shame!

Sooo sorry. Going through kind of the same thing. Isn't it a shame there is so much jealousy that they are too selfish to even think about who they are tryly hurting? The children deprived of grandma.

Two sons and one daughter and the daughter is always there and we have a great relationship. My oldest son and I didn't speak for six months years ago because of "influence of his wife". My youngest son and his partner just had twins and somehow she accused me of not trusting her to be a mom becuase I text her to see if she is doing okay. I am a very involved mom and have always kept in touch with all my children. I have never experienced such a relationship when the partner threatens the right to see the twins anytime we have a disagreement. Really puts my son in an awkward position. I know he has his life with the girls and her but she is really huring our relationship. This only happens with boys!?
