[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 683145, member: 19522"] This sounds quite familiar, the drama and chaos of it, down to the preoccupation with texting and not helping. We have been there....... Well, so much for regret, remorse or learning. Soooootired, I understand your texting him, but these people have made it pretty clear that they will do what they do, regardless of how anyone feels about it, their kids included. His response was wrong and uncalled for. Just one more thing for you to be upset about. There is nothing you could text or say at this point that would convince them otherwise, it is everyone else's fault in their world. It is similar with my two, I have adopted the "less is more" theory of communicating with them, for now. Still hope for change, but until I see it,[I] less is more[/I]. I know the feeling. It is hard to deal with unreasonable, immature, irresponsible , ungrateful adult children. Less is more. There is a way to be involved with our grands, but limit conversations with their parents. The hugs and love we give our grands just may be the respite they need. Something they look upon with fondness. It doesn't mean we have to be completely involved to the point of stressing ourselves out. I think the grands know we love them dearly. Hang in there dear, hugs to you. Take some time for yourself to breathe. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
