This. Good luck getting anyone to help you when you need it. Selfish. What comes around goes around. [/quote]

NP. Any grandparent who wouldn’t help their grandchild regardless of their relationship with the grandchild’s parents doesn’t deserve the title or access of a grandparent, full stop. That’s weaponizing the role of grandparent and treating a child as a pawn; no thanks.

We have great relationships with both sets of grandparents. That said, we live quite a distance from both. Our primary village is my aunt and uncle, as well as my cousin and her husband, all who live local. We have great neighbors, we have friends with whom we are close, and we even have coworkers with kids our kids’ age that we socialize with. We have siblings and great siblings-in-law. We also have current and former daycare staff who are regular babysitters. Grandparents are not the end-all/be-all when it comes to a network of help. So you might want to think twice before withholding support if you don’t always get your way—you may find yourself shut out completely.[/quote]
