My husband never had children of his own. He lacks the patience to deal with the aggravations my kids and grandkids stir up for him. His complaints about them have a way of hurting me that he has no way of knowing is possible. Can’t blame a guy for being clueless.
I put my son and grandson on the Amtrak today and miss them already.
They spent ten days with us and while we both enjoyed them, everyday I had to listen to my husband’s list of fault findings first thing in the morning and the continuing saga as I closed my eyes for the night.
Now that my son and grandson are gone, and aren’t here to leave wet towels in the bathroom, or misplace the tv remote, my husband discovered all the milk was gone so gave himself this one last chance to complain. Well, I can only hope it was the last!

CBY, I know your frustration well. I am a grandmother of 4, three of which are boys and they, their mother and I live together. I love them but get so aggravated with them. Now my daughter is going to have a fourth child. The words "condom, birth control" obviously don't register. I love her but she doesn't love herself. My faith in God is strong and I must keep my "chin up" for the boys. We have a very close relationship. Cherish the time you spend with your grandkids. They'll be off into their own world soon enough and we'll be an occasional phone call. dlm

What a dear surprise to login and find such loving support. I kind of thought there might be more than one Grandma out there who could relate to my situation. Thanks for being here for me!

A friend suggested I check out your journal. I love your beautiful smile.
And I can't imagine anyone being grumpy with you around.
I have an opposite problem. My hubby dislikes my mother. And she is in
a nursing home. How could we have the same thing in common? You and
I are caught in the middle of a silent war that is going on inside our husbands.
God Bless You. You sound like the most precious grandmother, and one
thing for certain you have nothing to feel badly about. The kids know you
love them. And you know what? They probably call him one of the "grumpy
old men." LOL.....
We never know what happened in his childhood that caused him to not like
to be around children or be picky. You know, maybe his dad or mom was that
way with him. I know my dad treated us as he was treated.
Now did I cheer you up or what? LOL... Seriously you are a doll, and I know
you have many prayers backing you. Oh, and if you want to laugh... go to
my journal... GG-62- It's about memories...
Bye for now..

I can identify with your Problem First Hand. The One Women I sought for my Own, went thru a phaze with her New Love when he had not a clue as to the Joy Young Children can bring. They were 10 years old before he figured out what I saw in them at younger years. He kicks himself now for that Lost Time! Art

I truly believe that every thing comes to an end.
However, my grandmother would say, "Keep your chin up, and try to enjoy the busy work the grands create for YOU while they are there..." "Keep you heart light and try to make light of the grands antics..." Just try to keep your heart light no matter what is going on with whomever. Just know that you are going to be all right because you are Love, Loved, and Loving. Karean

What you are going through is the same thing that I went through for many years. It hurts, it also can effect you many other ways. I tried so hard to please my spouse without hurting our relationship with the children, and it should not have to be that way, some people put up with it, I know, I did. I can not give you any advice on how to put an end to it. When I read your journal I just had to comment because I know exactly what you are talking about

Dear Cby,
My heart goes out to you. :-( No one should have to choose between family members. Maybe you might consider visiting your children and grandchildren at their home and maybe hubby can stay behind and keep that house perfect, while you're gone.
Everyone is entitled to their feelings . . . even you. I'll pray for healing for the hurt you are experiencing and new answers to this problem.
Your friend, Carol
