[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the OP should tell her parents why the kids will not be with them unsupervised. She wouldn't be doing this with the expectation that they would agree, it really doesn't matter if they agree or not. She is telling them because she shouldn't have to constantly figure out reasons why kids can't stay alone with grandparents. They were abusive and I'm surprised that anyone would want to spare their feelings to avoid a confrontation. It will be a phone call anyway not a face to face intervention. [/quote] It’s not about sparing their feelings, it’s about not having a useless confrontation. The grandparents live out of state, it’s not like these opportunities come up every week. When Grandma asks about next summer just say “That doesn’t work for us.” That’s it, no big explanation or elaborate excuses. If she presses, of course you can tell her that you don’t agree with her discipline style. [/quote]
