Cut and run. They're 1 and 3, they'll be fine. They won't remember you to miss you. It shouldn't be an obligation. Remember when you were a kid being made to dress up and go and visit granny/some distant relative/ It's no fun. If it's no fun for granny either....just why?

Not always, I had one that was the torture you describe, but the other was very cool and always fun.

Young lady. I'll not offer advice. Advice is like A-holes.
I have 2 grand kids, both almost grown. The only time they come around is to scratch their itch. I have a rule around my house. If you have something to say, in a reasonable manner, I'll listen. Other that that, get your donkey down the road. But then I'm 70 years old and don't put up with a lot of crap. BTW 1 son tried to stick me with $12k, other never ask for anything. Merry whatever.

And, apparently, I never will.

Sounds like as good a plan as any. It's a difficult situation and you're clearly well balanced and well equipped to adjust to the situation when you're all together next time. And your grands benefit too. Good luck.

The feeling I have for my next-door neighbor is as close to hatred as I can get, but his two children do not enter the equation. I would happily set him on fire, but, when the kids come over selling candy bars/magazines for school/Scouts I buy their shit, right along w/Mom & Popdigr. I talk with the kids whenever we see each other. We get along great.

I just can't force the sins of the father onto the kids. They've done nothing to me.

Now, when the boy turns sixteen, gets a loud truck, and starts waking me up @ 6am, like his daddy, Ima throw him on the pyre with his father.

Until then, he's just a kid.
