Name: Mommi's dilemma

[ Original Post ]

Should I let my daughter go to her grandmothers (fathers mom) house when she is born? I ask because,even though we live 2 blocks away from each other she hasn't made any effort to meet me.I'm aware that she and her son don't have a good relationship,but what does that have to do with meeting me?Her son doesn't think it's worth the time to meet her and I have spoken to her breifly over the phone when he and I were having problems, but she seemed only interested in talking about his ex-girlfriend whom she still maintains a close friend ship with.she even told me that she watches his ex 's son even though it's not his.This thru me off because I called about us and she just talked about her. Now with my due date approaching, what should I do?she's made no effort to meet me yet...now what should I do? And How do I know she won't have his ex around my baby?! ↓

I wouldnt bother, she sounds like she needs to get her priorities right. I dont blame your boyfriend 1 bit for not having a relationship with her. I would never have tolerated my mum having a realationship with my ex. wheres her loyalty? ↑

I would'nt worry so hard about something the "Grandparent" probably isnt even thinking about. Let things run its course, when your baby is born, send her an announcement through the mail and then atleast you know you've done your part. The rest is up to her. She cant say you didnt try. ↑

Don't take the baby to see her or let her watch your baby.It sounds like she is clearly no good! She has disrespected you by only wanting to talk about the ex girlfriend and telling you she is still friendly with her.She has made no attempt to meet you all this time so why give her the time of day at all? Your baby doesn't need family like that and neither do you.In fact if you are able,I would move further away! Don't inject poison into your lives,that is exactly what this woman is! ↑
