I just came out of a shop and noticed my grandsons other grandparents.Shouted over to them hello.His grandad turned round and said to the wife dont talk to her?Thought he was joking so carried on walking towards them.He carried on shouting to me that i was up my .... and i have never phoned them to tell of any meetings with social services or school meetings for grandson.I have never asked them for any help.They promised at the one and only meeting that they would help me.I asked twice for them to have grandson and was told they were busy.As far as i knew social services contact them for meetings as they contact me.They are on the list of contacts.I have never ever stopped them seeing him,but they dont even ring him.The last time he saw and heard from them was the beginning of April.His mother he has not seen for 20 months and no-one knows where she is.I feel very upset to be shouted at in the street when they could of came round or phoned me.They have also told me they are reporting me to social services as i dont know what he is up to when he is out with his mates.They have been told? Dont know what to think now,just upset,had to get that off my chest and surpose i will deal with this new lot thrown at me.Just one last thing,it will be me with him at 4pm today when he has a tooth out.

Annie, good luck at the dentists to you both.

As for being shouted at in the street like that, it only serves to show why you have your grandson and they and their daughter do not! The only defence I can make for them is that they must feel incredibly guilty that their daughter has let her child down ...and them?

I imagine it was an empty threat to report you to SS but may be as well to make sure you do know grandson's whereabouts with his mates, and what he is doing as much a possible ...hard I know, because at some point you have to trust them to behave 'out and about'.

Keep on 'being there' and all good luck to you.

Hello Annie, it sounds to me that they have a bad case of bad conscience......if they are on the list to be contacted, I bet they have been and made excuses........now they feel bad and are taking it out on you.....

You know what to do the next time you see them.......ignore them....
