[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here.  Don’t tell your parents.  The only people who need information are the guardians.[/quote]

I disagree.  Do not set your kids up for a legal custody battle.  If your parents think they are the ones, they are likely to fight it.  Make the decision and tell your parents gently.  [/quote]
I don’t think there is one “right” answer. 
I did not tell my parents we took them off. Why? Because the chances are so slight it’s not worth ruining a family dynamic now. No matter how gently I broke it, my parents would be mad or hurt. I specifically wrote in our will reasons why they were not named (mainly age, 76 year age difference makes them over 90 when the last child would be out of school). 
Only you can guess if your parents would take it well, or if it would just fuel them up to fight about it now. My MIL has threatened us with “grandparents right”  :roll:  Had she ever been named, there is no way I would tell her she was removed. [/quote]
