Should parents ground their children from seeing their grandparents for punishment?
Where is your son-the 8 year olds Dad in all of this? Does he have visitation with the child? Why are you the one providing financial support and not him? Not knowing the answers to those questions, I recommend you try to speak to your ex-dtr in law privately and in person. Ask her if you have offended her in some way or if there is something she would like you to do that you are not doing. If she says no, then tell her how much it hurts you when not seeing you is used for the punishment of your Grandchild. Ask her if she could try to find another punishment that does not involve a person. For example when my daughter misbehaved, a favorite toy or video would go on time out-not her. If she and another child fought over a treat, the treat would go on a time out until they stopped fighting. Remind your Dtr in law that you are trying to be very supportive of her and your Grandchild and that you love your Grandchild so much, you know how fast the time will go before she is all grown and off to college-and you know you're not getting any younger, so to Please reconsider the punishment of grounding from you. If your Dtr in law brings up any complaints about something you are doing-or not doing-apologize without any excuses. Tell her you will fix whatever it is to the best of your ability-and then do so. Hopefully your Dtr in law will see things from your perspective which she may not have seriously considered before- and reconsider the punishment.
Parents, would you be OK with grandparents taking your toddler on vacation...?
My in laws, having been saying they want to take my 3 yr old on a vacation to FL for 2 weeks. We have family out there so they are going to be staying with family not in a hotel. My in laws are in their late 50's and my SIL who's in her 30's will be traveling with them. They called my husband today and had doubled checked if it was ok to take my daughter with them. I was honestly kind of annoyed because they really didn't "ask" me they just made sure it was ok with him mostly. My husband asked me if it was ok, and I'm still undecided. It just feels like such a long time to be without my child. Oh btw, my husband and I can't go on vacation with them due to to financial situations and work. The vacation and flight, etc, will be taken care of by my in laws. Would be you be ok with this? Has your toddler been on vacations without you?

My parents left me in charge until my grandparents come over and my siblings are refusing to listen. What can I do?
I’m 15 and have no experience with parenting so I’m struggling with what to do. My dad had to go to the emergency room with my mom and told me that he was going to call my grandparents to come watch me and my siblings, but that I’m in charge until they get here. My siblings aren’t listening to me. My brothers are 12 and 9 and they’re play fighting. I’ve asked them to stop and they haven’t. My sister won’t do her reading homework. I have my own homework to do that I can’t. What do I do until my grandparents get here?
10 points!! why do grandparents think they are parents again?
its just adjustment,that's all.when your child has a child,for the first time in both lives,both parent and child have the same role - that of being a parent.they also have to adjust to a completely new role:the child has to adjust to being a parent AND a child,and the the parent to being a parent AND a grandparent it's hard.your parents raised you and think 'you've turned out great,i did something right' so they don't see why they shouldn't do the same with their grandchild.they perhaps don't realise that time have changed - when i was born,it was ok to put things like juice and tea in a baby's bottle,now that is frowned upon.i was upset when my mum put tea in my sons bottle when he was 7 months old,especially because i was only just introducing fruit juice to him at that age (not to mention the caffeine!) what we did was this - we sat down and talked.i told her that i appreciated her parenting knowledge (she has,after all,raised 4 kids practically single handed) and i would like advice every now and then BUT this was MY baby and that times had changed.i told her that i wanted to do it my way first and,if it didn't work,then i would try her way.i was thrilled when she told my sister that if she wanted to look after him then she had to do what I said because even she had to bow down to what i want for my son,it was like she was finally respecting me as a mother and i was her equal
Can grandparents refuse to let a parent take their child if there is no parenting plan, and they are not legal guardians of the child?
If your meaning is that the grandparents are not the legal guardians of the child, then no, the grandparents cannot intervene. If the parents have been legally removed as guardians of their children, then maybe.If a child’s safety is immediately at stake, such as a parent threatening the child’s physical safety, call 911 and make a report for an intervention.If it’s a situation where you question the welfare of the children, make a report to the local child welfare agency of the county in which they reside.Parents have authority over the welfare of their children unless it has been decided otherwise by a family court or government agency responsible for the safety of children.
