[quote=Anonymous]PP, as a counter argument:  Why wouldn't you want people who, for example, love your kids to come around?  Why would someone who claims to be normal or typical or fine think that it is okay to isolate their kids from people who love them?  Why wouldn't you, if you're tired, set up alternative ways for your parents to visit your kids in a way that works for you and your kids?

This trend towards isolating kids from grandparents is crazy.  Too many people who want their kids worlds to revolve around mom instead of being a little more open and tolerant.  Do your kids a favor and stop putting up barriers to isolate them from people who love them.

I figured out a long time ago that I can take the interest and love from the grandparents, and use it to help my kids and all of us.  The reason why my parents and my husband's parents are so involved in our kids lives now, and sooooooo helpful with carpools or other things, is because we encouraged them to be involved even when it wasn't convenient to us.  The benefit now is that our kids feel fully embraced by a wide circle of people who love them.
