[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a mom of young kids (4 and 1) and I think grandparents have every right to expect a relationship and time with their grandchildren.  As a parent, you can ofcourse deny them that - but absent a legitimate reason (abusive, mean or dangerous behavior), grandparents are also a child's family and can expect to have a relationship with their grandchildren.[/quote]

This.  These aren't total strangers we're talking about, they are family.  Generally speaking, grandparents love their grandchildren, and I don't see what's "entitled" about wanting and expecting a relationship with them.  Certainly, some grandparents should not, because of safety or abuse concerns, for example, and obviously, grandparents should be respectful and reasonable, but the idea that a grandparent has no right to expect a relationship with their grandchild is just nuts.  Those can be really amazing relationships.  Kids aren't your property, and frankly, I agree that kids can't have too many people who love them.  [/quote]
