Plus: I upset the mother-to-be with my comment about her shower. How do I fix this?
She still calls and talks to him, but now she does it only when I’m not around. There doesn’t seem to be anything I can do about it. He’s always outside walking around in front of the house. It makes me very uncomfortable.Nothing will change until you get to the bottom of why your girlfriend continues to pursue this troubled neighbor.
Could she be trying to “rescue” him? Does she feel motherly toward him and have a need to feel needed? Could she have a crush on him? I don’t know, and neither will you until you calmly discuss this with her in such a way that she doesn’t feel attacked when you bring up the subject. Start now.When she called to invite me to her baby shower, I asked her who was hosting the event. Neither my daughter , her father nor I live in the same state she does.
When I said, “But hosting your own shower is in poor taste. Usually a friend, co-worker or family member does the hosting,” she became upset. She said times have changed and if they want to host it they can, which would ensure everything is done the way they wanted. She has been very emotional during the pregnancy.
Write or email your granddaughter. Apologize for upsetting her and explain that you may need an updated version of your etiquette book. Then offer to help with the shower in any way you can.
