Find a hobby or a new productive use of your time.

Please don't burden your son with your need for attention. Maybe get a pet if you're feeling lonely.

It's not a need for attention.
I'd just like to see my grandkids a bit more regularly. 1
@Fancythat that's what I feel like.
Like I'm forgotten about.

The kids are sick thing, is quite usual with my family.
But it sounds like what is happening to you is going beyond normal?

Who makes the plans in the first instance?

What are the reasons given for cancelling?

I just feel completely cut off.
I live 20 minutes away from my grand children and I'm feeling pushed out.

We make plans to meet up and 9 5imes out of 10 it's cancelled.
We've had no falling out.

I understand kids,school,work is a stressful time especially with small kids.

I'm just wondering how to being it up with my son,I don't want to souncritical.
I don't want a row but I feel I need to say something.
Any advice would brilliant.
