[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regardless of the GPs sense of entitlement in no world would I give my kids the sense that they should not prioritize their GPs. The seats belong to the DH who is allowing the kids to sit in them at his discretion - if a higher ranking family member comes along the kids would cede to the GPs. [b]That is the way kids learn not to be a brat.[/b] [b]I would view the priority here as not teaching the kids to be self centered [/b]over pushing back on teh GPs for bad behavior.  Really eye opening how many feel otherwise in this thread.[/quote]

Thank you, well put.[/quote]

This makes zero sense.  The kids will see the grandparents being brats, and being self-centered, and getting what they want.  It will teach the exact opposite of what you are hoping.  [/quote]

+1. You are teaching kids not to be self-centered and bratty by giving away their seats to people who’ve had at least 70 years to learn not to be self-centered and bratty and are acting entirely entitled, self-centered and bratty? That’s the cognitive dissonance. If the grandparents were going about this in any other more respectful manner, it would not be a 33 page thread. [/quote]
