My kids only have one set of grandparents active in their lives, my parents (who are fortunately very active and great with them). My wife’s mother died before we even met so of course the kids never knew her either. And her dad is just kind of an asshole, she put up with him for years but when he started being mean to me in front of the kids she decided she was done - she didn’t want to risk him being mean to them. It’s not even maliciously mean he just thinks it’s funny to insult people and gets butthurt when people “can’t take a joke”.
The only person in either of our families who is a regular consumer of FOX news is her grandpa (her Dad’s stepfather), and he’s truly one of the sweetest and most loving people I’ve ever met. He just lives in rural Indiana and that’s what they watch there.
