Do your children not let you see your grandchildren?

I don't have any grandchildren. I suggest you think of what you want to know cause having people say Yes or No isn't going to tell you anything. Did you want them to tell you something about this or do you want to tell a little bit about why you are asking?

Is this happening with you? What would you like to see happen? Sometimes it is overwhelming that one can't even think of what they would like to happen. Try to think of if this though cause as you do you will get closer to seeing it really happen.

How awful..!

I have three sons and ten grandchildren and it would be unthinkable to me, not to be able to see them regularly. In fact, I dine every Friday with one of my sons and as the boys are neighbours and their wives share the cooking regularly, we usually sit down to a meal with at least 12 and sometimes more (depending of which of the grandchildren are on leave that weekend.)

Over half the perk of being a parent is being a grandparent..! The grandchildren are so much fun and they are amazing is what they do and achieve, it's all pure pleasure.

My eldest grandson is a pilot and Captain in the Air Force. My 2nd grandson is an ex-Marine Staff-Sgt and is back at school studying medicine. The 3rd girl has just qualified as an English Teacher and the rest are all at school. Oh, and there's a new baby, 6 months old too.

They're always stopping by on their way home, cos they have to go past my place on their back home, so I see the boys and the grandchildren all the time and the wives are always popping in with a baked cake or something, just to make sure I'm eating properly.

If your question implies that you don't (see them) then this is something that needs rectifying immediately. How can anyone live without their Family Ties..? For me, that's unthinkable.

No, I see my grandson all the time. If your children don't let you see your grandchildren, either your children are being cruel or they don't feel they want your influence on their children. You need to decide which it is, and then try to correct it so that you can see your grandchildren. If you just want to prove you are right, you'll lose. Just try to correct the situation and see you grandchildren.

That's never been a problem. I've always been a very important part of my grandchildren's lives. I'm very blessed to have them in my life

That would rip me apart. You HAVE to find a way to mend the fences. Start with writing in a letter how you feel and what it would mean to you, if you truly are sincere. You know the reason for it, so try to remedy that. Even a 10 minute visit at the door would be better than not seeing them at all.

My daughter has gone through phases when she didn't. Since she got out of the Jehovah's Witnesses, she hasn't done it, but I know that she could turn on me again at any minute. I do see the 4 yo regularly now, but have had months at a time when I couldn't. Sadly, my 19 yo grandson stayed in the JWs and hasn't talked to me in 2 years. He doesn't talk to his mother or little brother either. I used to see him every day. I'll never forgive my daughter for dragging him into the JWs.

My oldest daughter will not let me see my grand-daughter or grandson. This started in 1986 and was briefly lifted for 15 months when the grand-daughter needed a place to live. When she had saved enough money to get a place of her own,I wasn't allowed to see her anymore. I have sought counseling for this many times,but one therapist said it was something my daughter felt she had to do. Cant argue with that kind of logic.

If they don't let you see the grandchilldren then cut them out of your wills and give it to the grandkids when they reach 20. Control freaks!

Opposite here - I have total care of my granddaughter.

Got divorced before the kids had babies.

They sided with their mother.

Now have ten grands. Haven't seen one of them.

Hurts..
