[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, why in modern day, do people not value extended family?  Why do you all want to live on an island with just your immediate family?  Do you not want your kids to learn your family's history, your ancestors, family traditions?  Do you want them to learn respect and love for their elders? 
If you don't value this, they won't when they are adults. 
You could end up a very lonely person in the nursing home, because your kids and grandkids are "too busy" to hang out with "controlling" grandma [/quote]
Good God, this isn’t about that at all? Nowhere has OP said she doesn’t value this relationship. Get off your high horse! The topic at hand is grandma dictating access to her grandchild. If you allow your extended family to dictate how and when they see you or your children, great on you. But the majority of us don’t like to be TOLD when and how our own time should be spent. There are healthy boundaries in healthy families.[/quote]

Yup.  My mom didn't respect my frail child's need for rest and would undermine his schooling so that she could have fun with him. That's the way a selfish person acts and not the way an elder acts who deserves respect.[/quote]
