Re: unfair parents
It sounds like your mother already took care of your child's two siblings, and you appear to be ungrateful. There is no law that says a grand parent is required to spend time with grandchildren. You decided to have children, not them, and you alone are responsible for the child's care and upbringing. With respect to your having gone out of your way to start up a classic car, etc., although it does not sound like any big hardship and sounds like something you should have agreed to do without any demand for a return favor; however, you can always sue them in small claims court. Be prepared, however, to have the Judge tell you that it was the least you could have done for your parents as well as tell you that you cannot enforce a demand that someone not spend time with another child.
