Advice: If you can just walk in, say hello to the other grandparents, give the baby a hug and a gift and say hello to the mother, then you can leave.
Dear Lisi: My son is involved with a woman with whom he fathered a child. He is still married to his wife and has young children with her. I don’t like this woman, the girlfriend, for many reasons, one of which is she has an unkind streak. She also seems to be lacking in common courtesy.
The rest of the women at the party were upstairs in the kitchen and living room. Every now and then two or three women would come down to the party room with glasses of wine in their hands to see some presents being opened, then turn and go back upstairs after a few minutes. I felt very awkward being in the hostess’ home and I didn’t even know what she looked like. When it came time to leave, we came upstairs, put on our shoes and left without being approached and told goodbye.
I wonder how his wife will feel about your involvement. Since your loyalty is to the grandchildren, I would tell your daughter-in-law how you feel and why you are doing what you’re doing. You don’t want her to find out and then disallow you access to your grandchildren.
