What is it that makes them selfish?  Correcting your grandkids is not a problem in and of itself, depending on circumstance.

Not liking someone's personality does not make them an inherently bad person.  I did not care for my ILs personality, but they did raise a great son, to whom I've been happily married for years, and who made a great father.  So it doesn't really matter if I like them or their personality particularly.

Your kids are always going to be exposed to people and ways you don't like.  [b]It's up to you to raise them with your values, morals, and ethics so they learn how to navigate life--not shield them from it.[/b]

Agreed but you also need to teach them what kinds of behavior are not ok. So part of learning to navigate life is...keeping them away from a relative who is verbally abusive towards them. That's not shielding, that's navigating and teaching them that they don't have to tolerate that. [/quote]
