[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this really the hill you want to die on? I mean, they could just decide to stop looking after your kid on random date nights/weekends/etc (and for free/cost of gas to get out there, I'm guessing), and devote their time to playing bridge or going on cruises. But I suppose you'd complain about that, too.[/quote] +1. All these posts make me feel both thankful and blessed for the relationship DH and I have with our parents and their relationships with our kids. We have never once interpreted our parents giving our kids a treat as a sign of trying to undermine our parenting. We've just viewed it as grandparents relishing in their roles to be able to spoil the kids or break the routine/rules once in a while because they are, you know, grandparents. We are grateful they are willing to help and if that means a break in routine or rules, the benefits far outweigh the negatives of an extra cookie. [/quote]
