Dear Queenie,
Since my son got married I have hardly ever heard from him and his wife, although they are very close to her family. Now they are expecting their first child, my first grandchild, and they haven’t included me in anything to do with all that, like baby showers or setting up a room for the baby.
Queenie, I’m afraid I will never get to know my grandchild. Is there anything I can do about all this?—Worried grandmother-to-be
Dear Grandmother-to-be,
Talk to your son about all this. It could be that he tries to avoid arguing with his wife, especially while she is pregnant. Hopefully, things will get better after the baby is born.
