[quote=Anonymous]Our 2 year old loves my parents and, in many ways, they are great grandparents. Problem is, they undermine our authority regularly. I get the whole "grandparents spoil kids" thing, but it's annoying when things like the following happen: - DH is trying to enforce having DD either walk or sit in her stroller, and the grandparents just pick her up and carry her. - We tell her she needs to sit at the table with us and eat her dinner, and the grandparents tell her she can eat 2 bites and then run around the living room, and then come back for another 2 bites, rinse and repeat. These may not seem like big things, but they're things we're working on with her. Whenever my parents are around, she sees us as the mean disciplinarians and grandma and grandpa as the fun people who let her do whatever she wants, which is not a great dynamic. Anyway, rant over.
