I love your optimism.
J$ does not get to see his extended family that often. No matter how Dejennerate tries to frame the narrative.
And I would think that the times they are together the adults don’t dare to touch or discipline J$ for his bratty behavior. Else they will suffer the wrath of Dejennerate!
I bet he doesn’t even know who Tim’s parents are. They are as familiar to him as Chris and Charmaine Pratt. All people he spent a week on board the DCL Fantasy with.
I guarantee that the grandparents weren’t allowed to spend time with J$. With the exception of the island tour vans where Jackson rode with them, Chris, Charmaine & Nanny. And T&J were solo in the other van.
This is sad. My grandkids know me and we make memories together. My son has never lived near me, so I tend to travel to wherever they live to visit. My DIL has always let me have one on one times with the kids. And I always insist that they have a date night when I am there.
As I have mentioned in the past, when each grandchild turns eight they get a solo trip to DL with me. This will be the final year, as the youngest turns eight in a few months. She has heard all the stories about her older sisters trips with me. Now it is her turn.
Possessions and material items come and go.
Memories will last a lifetime.
This is what I am trying to create with my grandkids.
