So I was asked to write this blog by Jamie via Facebook. The question was "how to include the fathers family in your child's life when the father doesn't want to be in child's life at all?"
Well, this one is tricky. I'm sitting here kind of stumped! This is a first, usually I have something to say about everything! haha. Well. I would say let them be involved as much as they want to be. They are not the ones who screwed up. If that family respects you, and treats you both well, then I'd say let them see your child. Especially the Grandparents. I know my babies dad's family loves being involved with Ashlynn. He is also involved with her though. His parent's are separated but they both try to take time to spend time with her and love her. We are forced to split holidays which sucks, but I would make an effort to let your child to spend time even a little on some holidays. Let your child go over to their grandparents house when you run errands or go to class, or work some days. Most would be thrilled at that. So let them have the chance to see their family, because as much as we may hate it, they are related to the child too!
