Do you miss your GRANDCHILDREN?

There will be lots of circumstances leading to our losing touch with our grandchildren and it hurts soooo much.

Hi Rain, well I am very fortunate that I barely have time to miss mine as I see them at least twice week and one of those for a sleep over.. but it must be so HARD for those of you who do not get to see them very often. Golly I don`t think I could cope. When they went away for a couple of weeks holiday I had withdrawals from them.. They are such a HUGE blessing and JOY!!!

Love to all Nanna and Grandpas out there

Extra hugs for those who don`t see them much....

I am sorry if you have such circumstances...I had a granddaughter, and for two years we lived separately ( on different continents), but we communicated by Scype. Luckily, now we are living together, and I am glad to see that she sincerely missed me, when I was out on vacation...There is nothing more sincere than children's love....

I am so lucky I live only 35 minutes by car from my grandchildren, so can see them when I want. But have usually been seeing them once a week, because of work and school and that they too have a life without granny around. I am so sorry you are not able to see your grandkids. I can't imagine a life without my love and lights, as they both are to me. I am blessed as I say.

Hi Raincomeshine, I am so sorry you have to miss them so much. I don't have any grand children and doesn't seem like any of my four daughters are going to bring me that joy in near future too!!

My daughter remarried and my granddaughter was having to take time out to spend with her birth father. In the meantime she was visiting his parents then his new girlfriend's parents. All scattered throughout the country.

My daughter and I were estranged for about a year (it's complicated and not to do with this problem).

I kept making contact and was getting nothing back. When I finally saw my grandchildren 3yrs old and 11yrs old they didn't want me to leave but my daughter only gave me 30mins with them.

My granddaughter's father lives a few streets away and it breaks my heart. Everyone has to tread on eggshells with my daughter so I bear them no grudge.

My granddaughter now has skype so I know it's only a matter of time but she will need to be old enough to stand up to her mum.

You are all so kind. It's something I've had to keep under wraps for so long.

Must be heart wrenching,ive not yet experienced being a grandparent though its something i dearly hope to become in the future.But i do know the love my mum had for my son before she passed away so can relate slightly.The grandparent bond appears unique to me,,hope you see youre grandchildren sooner rather than later.

This is so sad Rain, I really feel so sorry for you. My grandkids live within walking distance from me, and I see them all the time. If they could have their way, they would live with me, but their mother needs the responsebility of taking care of her own kids.

2ndgoroundmy dear friend,I feel for you. Kids need their grandparents close to them, they are missing out on all the love!!

My grandkids are 2500 miles away-and their mums are not too keen about whether or not I have visitation. One has cut me off completely because I write to the new woman in my son's life....

Hi Calli

Did we never teach our children how to be compassionate? It's just crazy. Keep your chin up. Just turn up. I'll come with you. lol

I simply cant imagine not seeing my grandson regularly, they live only ten minutes away and it is a rare day I dont get to see him and he always stays one night at the weekend. He is the light of my life and my heart goes out to anyone who doesnt get to spend time with their grandchildren.

Rain I can relate. My daughter and I are estranged a long time now and she has isolated herself from most of the family. Although my grandson is only a few months old, she wont allow either Grandmother to visit and wont visit us either. We both got an invite for his Christening, though the other Gran especially was treated disgracefully at the reception and left early. This is heart breaking and no one can do anything. I wanted to do something for him so he would know I had some interest, some input in his life, however small so he would know, in time, that his gran never stopped thinking about him from the off. I set up a Savings account for him and bought Investment Prize bonds for him that will mature when he turns 18. I felt so much better having done this as I feel I have invested, in some small way, in his life. It may not be contact, but its something personal from me to him.
Everyone said 'just wait til she has a child, she will turn around and realise she needs you', if anything its worse now. I dont hold out hope for change but I feel the better for having done something which I myself can control.

Ohhh Pogo.

What is going on today? I will try to send a private message to you if that's ok but in the meantime I think that's such a wonderful thing to know that your grandchild will know you've been thinking of them.

Hi secondgoround

It looks like we are in the company of other loving grandparents who are sorely missing their grandchildren.

Hopefully they will grow up, seek us out and be reunited with us all one day.
