As a mother and a grandmother .. I can empathize with your mom but I can only hope your mom will abide by your decision to move your family for reasons beyond your control. Sure, as a mom, I would be heart broken if my own kids had to move that far away taking my grand baby .. any grand parent would. But .. If it can't be helped .. and as tough as that is, it's not the end of the world.

The problem is .. especially when there are grand children involved .. that a grand parent fears they will lose the bond with their grand child. With a 2 year old, your mother has already created a bond .. THAT is the bond she will be desperate to keep. Infants and toddlers forget easily, and my guess is that what she fears the most.

Console her by promising to make the effort to keep a vigil contact. Facebook, Skype .. any type of internet contact will keep you face to face. This will be a hard knock for her..If your choices are limited about moving away .. You will have to deal with it the best you can.

Tell her that you need to move due to financial reasons, and that you love her, but you must also think about what is best for your son. Your mother of all people should understand this because as your mother she probably had to make some similar decisions for you.

just explain it to her then she will be fine

mothers are always like that but once you explain how you see and want things to be they will accept and give you the blessings

I am not one to be subjected to emotional blackmail by my mother. I am more than willing to provide accommodations for her to have visits with my children, it will be on my terms, not hers.
