0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Sirius XM Triumph 11.
0:11.4	John, welcome to the program. Hello, how are you? Good. What can I help you with, John?
0:19.1	So I'm calling more so for my partner, Carolyn.
0:23.7	It's kind of an ongoing issue, but something that just recently happened.
0:27.7	Her son's wife had a second baby boy a couple of days ago.
0:34.5	And she has always seemed to have a good relationship with her son.
0:39.0	Nothing really major ever happened.
0:41.5	So it just seems like over the last 10 years or so since he's been married,

1:44.1	that since i don't know her son and the wife, nor the history of the
1:49.7	marriage and the divorce, and how the son and the daughter-in-law relate to you folks and
1:56.7	them, that I'm not going to be able to help with this because I don't know the real issue.
2:02.5	If people are not prioritizing mom and you and they're prioritizing other people,
2:09.7	it's because they're more comfortable and closer to the other people.
2:15.5	There's nothing we can do about that.
