Maybe you could give your mother money for gas before you leave so that she will drive him home on time? I know you`d have to pay for it but at least it wouldn`t cost you the 1 hr 20 min of your time... :)

I would not let him stay the next couple times at least. I don`t know how often you go to visit but I would just say no i`m sorry he can`t. If they ask why tell them. And if they say ohh no I will get him home on time, I would not give in. Not for a couple times then when you think you are ready to try again let him stay but just incase do it when you will be able to pick him up if needed. . . Hope that helps

i wouldn`t let him stay if they aren`t responsible enough to bring him home when they say they are or are supposed to. My dd is 8 months old and hasn`t spent the night away from us and probably for a whle. I wouldn`t know what to do without her.

well, give them one last warning. leave some gas $ (a 40 minute drive in a guzzler is what, like $20?) and say if he isn`t back by Saturday I can`t do this again, period, end of story. don`t let people walk all over you becaue you feel bad for your son. clearly this is what your mom is counting on. OR - just cut them off for a while. quit visiting and if your mom wants to argue about it tell her she knows your terms and you don`t see the need in hashing it out because it`s making you both upset and miserable. if she really wants to see her grandson she will adhere to the terms. if she wants to continue this power struggle she cares more about the logistics than her grandson.

For the ones saying they would pick him up.. would it effect the choice to let him stay in the first place?
Knowing that I would not be able to pick him up this weekend is the reason I made sure he had a ride home... otherwise he could not stay. I just feel like since in the past I have just gone and got him when this happens my mom thinks that she can just say `yeah I will bring him home` when she knows she has no intentions of doing so. I guess in the future I should not let him stay unless I will be able to pick him up because I cant trust they they will do what they say.

I hate to not let him stay because they cant keep their word but every time it causes a big fight between my mother and I. I went down on Friday they said they would bring him home Sat. I made it VERY clear that they needed to bring him home or he could not stay and they promised... well its Sunday and they are saying I can either come get him or he can stay until they can bring him home (like tomorrow) GERRRRR
