It's the tip of the iceberg ...
although he can't be such a bad guy if he wants to be a stay at home dad. Also, why is it when a man makes a decision based on personal conviction, right or wrong, he's accused of being stubborn because she's not getting her way?

ginnieb, relationships are like onions.
Life tends to peel away the layers and at any moment one or other of the partners can say stop, that's enough. I hope that they can work this out. I think that in spite of this conflict, they are good for each other. As grandma, I can only love them all and stand back when the pots start flying.

MAYB, yes, actually. He has
spent lots of time with the kids. There is some tension because he tends to be a risk taker. I worry for their safety.

It would be good to get your granddaughter some time with other kids so she can socialize properly. Interesting behavior from the SIL.

Geez it must be so hard Cynthia...
...to see your daughter like that. We want them to be happy..and when they're not it tears at us. It's a shame that she and Roger are butting heads over the nursery school issue..so is he going to stay home with her? I think the structure of a good learning environment is a very positive thing!! Kids, like Aida thrive with such structure..crave it..need that creative outlet!! My daughter went to Montessori school at that age and she absolutely loved it! She still has some memory of it too. This has got to be a tough one for you Cynthia..and what a good grandmother you are!! :)

Interesting post Cynthia. When he made the decision about the nursery had he spent much time caring for his first daughter full-time? I agree some children need that structure to keep them sane, let alone their parents
