[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m totally with you.  When they fail to respect quite reasonable rules that you’ve set, it’s not just spoiling, but is dissing you.  It’s rude and disrespectful of your efforts and efficacy as a parent.

I don’t see why grandparents always get excused for this crap. They should be capable of minor adjustments.[/quote]

Because grandparents are supposed to indulge their grandkids.  It is only recently that a loving grandparent spoiling the grandparents is considered, as you say, crap.[/quote]

“Supposed to indulge their grandkids” according to whom?

And again, you indulge doesn’t mean “break parental rules.”[/quote]
According to centuries of grandparenting. And not some new mom putting her foot down. It has been a dynamic for ages that parents will say no, and grandparents will say yes. And kids grow up watching their parents say, nope I said no, and seeing grandma wink at them. What is this "breaking of parents rules" you speak of? Some new fangled concept? In the past two generations raised kids, and often extended families did so and most of people turned out just fine. It is all "according" to the way life has happened and will continue to happen. But, please go ahead and pick a fight with your otherwise great parents. What a load of entitled rubbish. According to whom?! This is where you show your true control freak face, everything is supposed to be according to you?! Being a parents is not being a God, get a grip.[/quote]
