Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 13:11:37 GMT

Dear Amy: My son and his wife have a young child. All grandparents live in their town; the maternal set of grandparents also have several vacation homes they maintain.My husband and I tend to be more helpful with babysitting, taking our grandchild on outings, etc.Our son and his wife are both professionals, and we do everything we can to help.The problem arises when it comes to holidays and family gatherings.We are expected to host and invite the other set of grandparents to everything, which is fine, but we are never included in their plans, and it’s only getting weirder.I am of the opinion we should just do our own thing and let them gather without us. My husband thinks we should have a big “talk.”We’ve talked to our son and while he sees our point, he is concerned that his wife and family will be very insulted if we raise this, and it will cause more problems.I don’t want to put him in the middle, but this is a very intense, dramatic family – what do...

Poland says it won’t lift its embargo on Ukraine grain because it would hurt its farmers

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s prime minister says his government will not lift its embargo on imports of Ukrainian grain as scheduled Friday because it would hurt Polish farmers.“Poland will not allow Ukraine grain to flood us,” Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said Tuesday on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.“Regardless of the decisions of the clerks in Brussels, we will not open up our borders,” Morawiecki said in the midst of intensive campaigning for Oct. 15 parliamentary elections. Poland, Hungary and Slovakia, in agreement with the European Union, imposed an embargo on Ukrainian farm produce from April until Sept. 15 to prevent a glut in their home markets that would hurt their farmers. Only transit of sealed goods is allowed in an effort to help Ukraine send its produce overseas as Russia blocks its usual export routes. Morawiecki posted his comments shortly before the Cabinet was to discuss the matter. The European Parliament also is to debate t...
