[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]And yet, so often people like you use your control over them to deny them to others you don’t like, instead of recognizing that kids are lucky to have more people who love them.[/quote]

I don't know any parents who will leave their kids with people who they don't like or don't trust. Its strange to expect that someone would hand over their kid to someone they didn't like.

Plus if the parents don't like you, why do you think that the kid is going to like you? People like these always assume that the kids want to be with them but its just the mean parents denying access. More often than not, the kids don't want the relationship either or don't like you.

I also think that people who see this as control are simply angry that they aren't getting what they want. Its not your kid, back off. [/quote]

My sister got into an argument with my parents and drove straight past their house to see friends and wouldn't let them see the grandkids.  My sister lives in another state so a visit is an occasional thing.  My parents learned that they had to toe the line, never upset her or she withholds the grandkids from them.  They have now resorted to paying bills she brings up not to anger her so they can still see the grandkids.  They pay for some vacations and nice face cream for my sister.  If they don't then somehow my sister becomes very busy to see or talk to them, it's a choice they made to keep in contact with the grandkids.

It's the parents who want control and have issues with it and use the kids as pawn.  It's quite disgusting and I think less of my sister now, I barely respect her.[/quote]

So it seems there are some bad parents/grandparents, and there are some bad adult children.  I hope you don’t think that because your sister isn’t respectable, all grandparents are taken advantage of and always in the right. [/quote]

No I don't.[/quote]
