[quote=Anonymous]I'd do the same thing you did, OP. I'm so sorry. Extra frustrating that your boys kept it from you specifically because they knew it would mean they'd see their grandparents less. I think I'd have some extra conversations with my kids to more fully explain why I wasn't okay with what my parents did and why this means no more unaccompanied visits.

I might also question if my parents had TOLD my kids not to tell me, and said something like "if you do, your mommy won't let you visit us as often." This is 100% something my mom would do even though not only have I explained we never, ever spank our kids, but that we do not keep secrets in our family. I would be bothered by the fact that it took a long time to come out, and I'd explain to my parents that THEY should have been the ones to tell me, and reiterate that it's never okay to ask my kids to keep a secret from me. Honestly, this might bother me more than the spanking at this point because the long term consequences of encouraging children to conceal something like this are really bad.[/quote]
