Ok so I didn't really know where to put this, and I am really just trying to get opinions.
My son's dad has never really bothered much with him,in fact he saw his parental Grandparents more than his dad for a long long time-though this was just once a week for a few hours.
Now his dad is in his life more and he spends one Sat night with the Grandparents and one with his dad-with one being at home.(so sees Grandparents and Dad once each a month.
My mum is the type of Gran who buys thing for the children all the time-little things really but she is I guess the "typical" Grandparent.
Spoke to my OH and he said his Grandparents were the same.
The thing is the parental Grandparents never buy anything for Son outside of seeing him the once a month..they send a £10 for Birthdays and Xmas.
When we have ever gone away on Hol they never send any spending money for Son
Dad is the same-though we do have an agreement-he gives me £40 a week towards Son-though this took a long time to sort out and for many Years I got nothing.
To me this just seems strange,I guess I am just used to things being different with my own mum and what she does.
What is everyone else's situation with Grandparents like?
I think maybe I have just been spoiled by my own mum-she is brilliant!!
