Dear Abby: I live several hours from my son and daughter-in-law. Staying in a hotel to visit my grandchildren is too expensive. But the DIL won't find a place for me to sleep in their house.
Dear Abby: Staying in a hotel to visit my grandchildren is too expensive, but my daughter-in-law won't find a place for me to sleep in their house. Meanwhile, my son is silent.
My son and his family live six hours from me. I can afford the gas to drive there, but paying for a hotel room for two nights is beyond my means. My son is a stay-at-home dad of seven children. When I asked his wife if I could stay at their place, thinking one child could make a pallet on the floor, giving me their bed, she said she didn’t want to put their child out.
At my age, I can’t sleep on the floor because I have some health issues. This means I can’t see my son and his family. They don’t offer to help pay for a room. I remember when someone stayed in my parents’ home, they gave up their bedroom to the guest. I don’t expect my son and his wife to give up their room, but one of the children should. It makes me feel sad, disrespected and uncared for since, in the past, my son said he wanted me to get closer to his children.
