I'm glad it's only once per month instead of once per week.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12195922019970412150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-66473282892542891842009-11-17T20:44:12.634-07:002009-11-17T20:44:12.634-07:00I'm so sorry that his mom is like that. Damn.
...I'm so sorry that his mom is like that. Damn.<br />Well, ultimately she's the one choosing to miss out on the grandkids. It's sad but at this point, with her attitude, she should be very lucky that she has the once a month call. You guys have your own lives to live and enjoy. Why take crap who has time for that? <br />*hugs*Dawn Bhttp://www.babybent.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-80253839534272543522009-11-17T13:27:12.197-07:002009-11-17T13:27:12.197-07:00Dawn, I would never leave him unattended with her,...Dawn, I would never leave him unattended with her, even on the phone. She can't be trusted and obviously, this last phone call just proves it. Ignorance isn't always bliss! <br /><br />But, anyway - Bill agreed to cut the calls back to once a month rather than once a week (which was his idea after reading this). That seems more manageable. that will start after this next phone call before Thanksgiving. We'll see how that situation goes...Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988190251156621315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-62904983972014183352009-11-16T20:12:24.259-07:002009-11-16T20:12:24.259-07:00I agree with Alicia in thinking that Bill wants hi...I agree with Alicia in thinking that Bill wants his them involved...Why is it men can't cut those damned apron strings?!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417143480544776503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-7941885271348513142009-11-16T17:48:36.027-07:002009-11-16T17:48:36.027-07:00Yikes. I just don't know.. I mean, on one hand...Yikes. I just don't know.. I mean, on one hand it's Bill's mom. And unfortunately as him being her son, he slightly obligated (I guess) to keep in touch with her. And I'm guessing she loves her son so that's tough. But, to guilt Logan into continuing a phone conversation..with a 3 year old??? I just don't get it. I'm sure she misses her grandsons..but I dunno, just seems like she's going about it wrong by making a 3 year old feel bad. <br />If these Sunday phone calls continue, she needs to know when to draw the line. I know she doesn't and that's where I know this all gets so much harder on you (and now, hard on your son and Bill). I'd just hate to see you and Bill conflict with this. It shouldn't be this complicated. And if these calls continue, maybe try not putting it on speakerphone, leave the room and do something fun for yourself, and let Bill take over and monitor everything. Because honestly, who cares what she thinks of you. You know you're awesome and a wonderful mom..don't give her the satisfaction of being upset. I dunno..just some assvice. :(Dawn Bhttp://www.babybent.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-31727073715784465092009-11-16T16:50:05.291-07:002009-11-16T16:50:05.291-07:00my experience with three year olds is as follows. ...my experience with three year olds is as follows. they can talk on the phone for about three minutes, tops. they dont care to talk for longer...they really dont need to talk for longer. <br /><br />maybe it should be worked in that these phone calls with be three minutes now, four minutes when he is four and so on...increasing a minute per year, until he decides he wants to talk more. <br /><br />grandma is nuts, no offense, to tell her 3yo grandson that it makes her sad that he is finished with the convo. for him, that was the same as talking for 30 minutes! <br /><br />/rant <br /><br />:)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805281199840274328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19665812.post-38972800692221862582009-11-16T15:51:53.398-07:002009-11-16T15:51:53.398-07:00Apparently BILL wants his mother involved and that...Apparently BILL wants his mother involved and that is not going to change. Maybe you and Bill need to talk about this because contacting his mother is not going to do any good if BILL is not going to draw the line and side with you.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17531223652076991523noreply@blogger.com
