[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like an entitlement problem. It’s hard to hear but you are not entitled to a relationship with your grandchildren. It’s a privilege not a right.

I’m a millennial parent of three and I don’t think this is correct. My children absolutely have a right to a relationship with both sets of grandparents. It is my job to protect my children, but taking my grievances with my parents out on the relationship between my kids and their grandparents is off if it doesn’t present a safety risk to my kids.

There is definitely a balance to be struck, but a parent should in good faith try to allow the conditions for a relationship to exist between extended family and their children.  Parents shouldn’t act as gatekeepers where conflict between parents and grandparents impacts the children and grandparents.

As for OP, I assume there is more to the story but I’ve seen head scratching situations myself, including where an adult child simply cutoff  adult parents without explanation. Without knowing everything, it’s hard to say. [/quote]

I agree with this (millennial parent here). That said, something seems off here and I agree that it feels like we're not hearing the whole story, or we're hearing a heavily interpreted version. [/quote]
