I agree that most Grandparents do in fact spoil their Grandchildren. However, i think that in most cases Grandparents actually probably raise them alot stricter than as if they were not raising them they would probably spoil them that much more!

My daughter spends weekends with her grandpa and he will let her whine at him and he doesn't stop her, so sometimes she tries to whine at me. I can't stand it!

My parents and mother-in-law spoil my boys. They let them do things they never let me do. They only do to a certain point too. They're not so spoiled that they're brats. But they do know how to play the grandparents to get what they want.

personally i think our parent of course spoil our kid so much. they love with oyr kid is unconditional love like parent love with us. like my sister before, she use to stay with my grandparent and of course my grandparent love her more than me . and when my sister want something from my grandma she always get it and when i ask someting it sometime take long to get it. that why sometime when our kid ask someting from us and we didnt give it to them and normally they will go to grandparent

My in-laws love to spoil my son (he's their 1st grandchild) but they are very good about it and will not do anything without my approval first. That makes me feel so much better that they respect me enough as the parent to have the last say. They will always ask me for permission before giving him something or doing something with him. My son knows they can't just go to Grandma and Grandpa and get away with everything.

I don't find that at all... Grandparents usually spoil their grandchildren because they don't live with them... It's easier to spoil babies when you're not around them 24 hours a day... I typed that out as my 8-month-old squealed at my feet wanting to be picked up *twitch*. When grandchildren live with their grandparents, I've noticed it isn't much different than a mom/dad and child family home. The grandparent novelty wares off and they become the parents, instead.
