Having another grandson in the familygrin grin
Am single woman with now....4 grandchildren..bless them all..
but their dad's side is really rich..and can afford just about anything for them..well..me?
All I can offer is my yearly wisdom, lots of love, care and concern, and weekend visits.
They make me feel so unloved if I don't provide them with what theyre accustomed too.
Try to teach them $$ is not about all life on this planet, but no matter.
Having hard time when they come to visit me..
Any comments on how to deal with????conversing

All you can do is youre best...It sounds like you already are.

Keep on showering them with love,care,wisdom and good advice.
And hopefully the grandchildren will,in time learn the valuable lesson that theyre is more to life than money and materialism.

True love is priceless...conversing wine

Play with them, take the time and enjoy every word they have to say.
Show them art with no repercussion of the mess that comes with it.
Personal time is the best and if time and space find you short, order online art supplies, clay, watercolors, canvas's.
If you are not with them give the love of art to them.
Toys of hunting and gathering, books of plants to live off.
