Mom’s adult children slow to embrace her new husband Some of my adult children, although they did not want me to be alone and they say they are happy for me, have been slow in welcoming my new husband. Wishing him a happy birthday and happy holidays directly would go a long way to making him feel accepted, as would more general communication. Have you told your children that the cool reception they have given your husband is harmful not only to him but also to you? If you have and they are still unable to warm up to him, it’s time to concentrate your efforts on building closer relationships with those relatives who are willing to be more welcoming. [...] the next day their mom says our niece watched them, and therefore she should get paid for that day, too. A babysitter is hired when there is no adult in the home to supervise the children. If your nephew’s mother can’t be home when your boys have been invited for a sleepover, the person who should pay for the babysitter is her — not you. Must I go to a grandchild’s church performances even though I’m an atheist? If you want a close and loving relationship with your grandchild (notice I didn’t say “step-”), you should absolutely be present to encourage and support that child!
