Setting Limits with Grandparents email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 78/100. SageMother (2093)3 years ago

Often your parents or your husband's parents will ignore the rules you have set for your children.

They make excuses like "I'm just being a good grand mother" or " but he needs to have some fun sometimes". The whole timeyou are fuming and the disrespect for your rules is wreaking havoc in your household.

Quite a few parents have a difficult time insisting THEIR PARENTS follow THEIR RULES because the guilt button is immediately pushed.

How do you handle this? Have you decided to stop letting the grandparents take your child out without your supervision?

my mom knows my rules and though sometimes she slips she is very good about follow them, and honestly he listens to her better then he does to me. Now as far as his other grandmother i have no idea because my son's father and i are going through a divorce.

I don't think there should be any limit with grandparents.. Reason for that is a person should first look at him/her self and see if they had done a good job on them. Secondly, if you are settting rules for your kids you should know what you had done when you were that age.

We always forget that we were mischievious and naughty as kids. And so will our kids. We all learn and evolve.. and grow up. Education never stops.

Personally i'm not judgemental when it comes to concerns such as this.

My mums fun but strict. the same thing goes for my father (who is the rule breaking but only does to me son) i really don't care if they break our rules because i'm sure when jakes holder he'll respect us both and what my parents and i do are two different things.

I'm not going to tell them there wrong because 9/10's out of ten they only do things like allow him to go to sleep when they know he tries to stay up all night. lol=)

Kudos!
