[quote=Anonymous]There‘s middle ground between going along with whatever your dad says all the time, and never speaking to him again and cutting off contact! How about you explain to your kids that mommy and daddy have the final say about plans/meals etc and sometimes we have to say no even when grandparents said yes? Obviously a 2 year old will not understand this, but a 5 year old will. We have had to tell our kids this before ILs visit because sometimes they will do the same thing or something similar. Like telling the kids we will all go to a baseball game without checking if the team is even in town, or promising we can go to a favorite restaurant that is closed - they get the kids all amped up for something that is impossible and then we have disappointed kids on our hands, which could have been avoided if the grandparents had just run the idea by us first![/quote]
