It's very early days Nannykaggy sounds like your son and his partner need time to bond as a family with their twins. Your families are very different so don't try to rush things even with the best of motives.
Congratulations on your new grandchildren.

My son met a girl and accidentally they became parents very quickly. They had twins. The problems I have is they are over an hours drive away. Their mum doesn’t seem to want me in their lives as much as I’d like to be. The twins are 6 months old and I have only seen them 5 times, not through lack of trying. The trouble is her mum was a drug addict so she virtually brought herself up and has been on her own so long I think she finds it hard to accept family. I come from a very close family and I’m finding it so difficult. Does anyone else struggle with not seeing their grandchildren as much as they want?
