About your grown up children & your relationship

I have one grown boy and he is married and has three children. He keeps in touch with me and calls me from time to time. Since they live close I get the grandkids one Friday a night so that my son and his wife can have some time to themselves. He built my and my husbands computer and comes over on a regular basis to do maintance on both of them. If we run into problems with them he will come over and fix the problem. He is a great son and we have a good relationship.

I don't have grown kids, but I will speak for me. I am 36 when I first moved away from my mom I talked to her all the time, now that I have gotten older we still talk but maybe 1-2 times a week and sometimes we go a couple of weeks without talking it depends what is going on. I call her and she calls me. I love my mom dearly, I just have my family and things that are going on with it and she knows that. She knows that if I need her I will call she like she knows if she needs me she can call me. I don't think we are disfunctional, I just think we have seperate lives now. She comes and visit's once a year and I go to visit sometimes not often. I know that she understand's why I don't call her everyday we have talked about it, she agree's with me on it because she also has things that she does like quilting she is really big in it. So we do fine. It don't work for all. But maybe your kids have the same view, they know you are there and will call when they need you but they are moving on with there lives. It doesnt mean it's bad. Talk to them and see what is up and you might be suprised. Good Luck!

OMG dont get me started. My oldest son is 20 and my baby boy is 14. Well my oldes son and I are so very close. Then along came a girl. Now it is mama who? I had such a hard time with this at first. Both my boys was always homebodies. When My oldest son, Corey would date, he would always bring them to my home. They would always hang out with our family. Well Corey has met a humdinger of a girl. He knew her in high school. They never dated until about 7 months ago. Well he knew her for 1 month and he bought her a ring. I never see him anymore. It was like now you see him, now you dont. It took me forever to get use to him not being around. He still lives with me, but he is never home until late. If he is not at school, he is working, if he is not working, he is with her. I want him to be happy and I want him to spread his wings and fly. But this girl is a looney toon. She lies so much that I think she believes her own lies. I mean she will tell lies about me and I am setting there. Its like she will tell my son something that I done to her, that never happened and then challenge him who is he going to believe, Me or her? I have got to the point that I try not to cross her path. This goes on in my own home. I feel like I have to walk on egg shells when she is around because if she gets mad at me, she will storm out of my home and corey will go with her and I will not see him or hear from him for weeks. She talked him into getting a tatoo, which I do not believe in. There is just so much that this girl has done. She has tore my family apart. I just hope and pray my son will open his eyes before it is to late.
