[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless they live with you, try some breathing and relaxation techniques? No kid ended up a spoiled rat forever because grandparents "spoiled" them for a few days. Nor does it actually undermine parent in kids' eyes in any kind of a long run. Kids know that this is an exception. The undermining is all in your head because you are unable to relax for a second. It is usually done by insecure parents like you who can't give up control for a second. Again, if they don't live with you, why do you hate them?[/quote]

Whoa, when did I say I hate them? I actually said that, in many ways, they're great grandparents. [/quote]
The what is the point of your rant? Once in a while they act like grandparents? They raised you, are you a spoiled brat? Let the kid and them have some fun without harping non stop about in control. How about you just let them go and get ice cream and while they are there do not make a big deal out of every single thing? My parents spoiled my kids, and now older teens they are perfectly behaved young adults. What I am saying is, it doesn't make a difference in any long run. Kids are smart, they know that this is just while grandparents are here. Why is everything a power struggle today? Sure it is irritating if they are saying the opposite of what you are saying, tell them to quit it, you are their daughter. But, it is not a big deal.[/quote]
