[quote=Anonymous]Grandparents are not entitled to a relationship with your children. However, if they're not toxic, I would allow them time with your children without you, if you're comfortable. Every other week is plenty of time, assuming you would also like to spend time with your husband and children as a nuclear family (which is what you are). What you're doing (having your husband handle the communication with HIS parents is absolutely appropriate) and I would continue with that. Group counseling is not appropriate for you and your in-laws because you don't all have to come to an agreement. *You* are the mother, *you* set the boundaries. They raised their kids. It is what it is and if they don't like it and continue to complain, I would let them know that it will result in LESS time with the grandkids, not more. Nip this in the bud now or you'll be living with them trying to butt in to every sacred moment you want for just you and your family. [/quote]
