Here we are at another Friday and wet start to the day it is I am listening to my book while writing this and waiting for Kathy-Lee to ring.
Well Friday is Jo-Anne’s thoughts day and what the hell are my thoughts this Friday.
Ok since we will have our granddaughter Summer again for the day I am thinking about our relationships with our grandchildren, we have better relationships with our grandsons over our granddaughters.
I believe this is because when they were babies the boys would spend one or two nights a week with us from birth till around the age of 4yrs with Blain and Sam was 14yrs old when he stopped sleeping over here. We still see the boys often during the .eek.
The girls we see but no were near as much and they have never slept over and we have only watched them a few times.
It is harder to establish close bonds between people when you do not see them on a regular basis. Kathy use to be concerned about how the girls are closer to their other grandparents then are to us. I explained to Kathy that I am not upset or jealous about this as it is just the way it is. I am just glad we get to see the girls as much as we do.
It must be hard for those who have grandchildren living in different states or countries. Thankfully now days we have video phone calls allowing us to see and hear people via a phone csll.

Dearest Jo–Anne,
A bonding from early on is lasting a lot longer and is embedded deeper.
But anyway, what can we expect?
My younger sister’s two kids—boy and girl, have slept over so often at my place and I’ve even had them for 4 days or so when taking a day off following a long weekend. That to give my sister a break and to enjoy having them.
They’ve received tons of love and other things but what is the result?
NEVER hear anything from them…
Still okay—will leave that up to our Final Judge to handle as it is not on us to do that!
Hugs,
Mariette
That is sad that you never hear from your nephew and niece but it happens
Having our grandsons living less then a minute from us helps us see them as much as we do
Their choice…
