[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a grandparent who is pretty unstable - diagnosed bipolar, not very well managed.  We decided long ago that our kids will never be alone with this grandparent.  But there wasn't any big announcement - we just limit visits to very short and hover to monitor every interaction.  We never go to the grandparent's house, only meet them someplace neutral and easily escapable.  If things start to go south, we suddenly notice the time and pack up to leave.

In our case, a big announcement of cutting off contact would likely prompt the grandparent to show up on our doorstep.  Depending on what your mom did, I might just start making excuses - you guys have other plans for T-day this year, but perhaps you could visit the weekend before?  Oh, shoot, the kids have a big game that weekend, so they won't be able to join you...  [/quote]

If the kids are not babies, PP, all of this is actually true.[/quote]

That's just cruel and total BS.  Don't do this.[/quote]
