My father would never admit to wanting to see his grandchildren and he most likely could care less about them. Knowing him, his wife has convinced him we don't exist(although I did hear his voice in Sept when I called my Babca). Funny, I had to ask her who answered the phone. He just sounded so old. My MOM has aged much better than he has.
I did have to laugh one evening. I looked up birth records on the computer to see if my father had grandchildren from his step kids. One of the kids had a baby the day before my birthday. I can just imagine her mother making her push harder so the kid would be born before midnight.

I bet she even set off firecrackers to scare the baby out of her. Not to mention praying to her God that the baby would not be born on my birthday.
