It takes my SIL & Stepgrandaugher (7) 45-60 minutes to say goodbye. According to my daughter it's an all out BALLFEST! Everyone crying. I came from a divorced family and had step parents, and had a great relationship with both of them. I just can't understand this. Is this normal behavior for a DAD to carry on like this. The stepgranddaughters are 7 & 10 and it's every single time it's time for them to leave to go home. Plus they hang all over their daddy & call him DA DA just like their 16 month old sister and are on his heels everystep he takes.
