Dear Queenie,
My son had a child with his former girlfriend and since they broke up he pays child support because he legally has to, but otherwise he doesn’t pay any attention to the child. He is like his father, who paid very little attention to him.
Fortunately my husband and I are on good terms with the ex and we see our grandson very often.
Queenie, what can we do about all this?—Worried Grandmother
Dear Grandmother,
Children often grow up to be like their parent of the same sex. If your son is willing to try, a class in parenting might help him learn how to be a better father. Meanwhile, your grandson needs all the love and attention you can give him.
