My kids seldom see their paternal grandfather because he works in Bangkok or travels around frequently. Whenever he is back, he will try to bride the kids with junks and toys so that they will be more attached to him.

Since he is traveling a lot, he has collected a great amount of reward points with his airline credit cards and airline membership cards. He told MIL once that they have get free tickets to US, for both of them, if she is willing to go on a vacation with him. But MIL is a bit reluctant to leave the house because she is taking care of SIL’s kids.

Frankly, I think she should go. Both FIL and MIL are very old now, and they have been living separately over the years. It’s time for them to spend more time together, instead of worrying about us.
