Do you think it is right to simply just shut out grandparents from the lives of their grandchildren? Do you think it is right to do this to children as grandparents are an important role in childrens lives? This is happening more and more all over the United States and I don't think it is right. I watched both my parents be denied two grandchildren when my youngest brother divorced. The girl we have never seen again and she believes someone else is her father now. The boy was 17 when we finally saw him again. To bad his grandfather had already passed away. My in-laws went through the same thing when their son got divorced and they were cut out of the granddaughter's life. If you wnat more information go to my website at www.iowagrandparentsrights.com

I do not think it is right to shut out the grandparents. Regardless of what happened to the parents relationship, the grandparents should still have some type of contact with their grandchildren. It is not fair to the children to take everyone out of their life that they know just because the parents can't get along. Now if the grandparents for whatever reason choose not be apart of the grandchildren's life that is not something you can force.

I do not feel that grandparents should be shut out of the grandkids lives. Unless of course they are harming the kids. I also feel that grandparents are very important in a kids life. I have a son that sees his grandparents every second weekend. I do not feel that they should have to pay the price because me and their son do not get along. It also has an effect on the kids. I think that it is good for my son to learn where he came from and when he gets old enough he will make his own decisions on his grandparents and dad.
