It makes no sense to have children; if when your children grow up, they feel you are meddling with them in their lives when they marry and have children. How are this generation going to react when their children have children and they are told that they have no rights. And that they are meddling, but hand over the money and baby-sit or you are a bad grandparent! Most USA children have become disrespectful to parents when they feel they have grown up and get married. Who got you to where you are? And why should we, as denied grandparents, leave an inheritance to you when in fact you deny us our legacy and our grandchildren their heritage? Who do you think you are to tell your mature parents to get lost? Or to tell your spouses parents to take a hike?

Good question, most children growing up now have no respect for their elders. Something to do with the parents of the peroid I would imagine.

You should raise your children better. If you raised them right and loved them they wouldn't disrespect you at all. This question just reflects what type of parent you are. My dad is one of the most influential person in my life, I can't imagine ever telling him to take a hike. I'm in my late 20's. You shouldn't stereotype all young people like that. Even my mom, we don't see eye to eye but I wouldn't do that to her either. Both of my parents took care of me and are good to me. Because of that I love them so much. I think you need to step up be a parent and love your children and be the bigger person in this situation. You say it makes no sense to have children, as if you regret it. If my parents thought or said that then I would tell them to get out of my life too.

i think this is a ridiculous question. children are a blessing and they learn what they live. show a child mercy and he'll show you compation. its all about how you raise your children. i love and respect both of my parents and all of their advice, even if i dont take it. most of first time parents have their parents over their shoulders saying " do this,do that , no not that way, my way, like this...ect " and to a new parent that can be a little overwhelming. they want to learn it on there own. and as their parent and a new grandparent you owe them that even if you do not think you do.maybe if you let tham learn on their own the will realize they dont know as much as they think and consiquently come running back to their own mommy and daddy for help. oh and by the way all grandparents have legal rights to the child.

Ma'am, I empathize with your sentiment, but wanting to be a part of their lives, is a lot different than being controlling, domineering, and manipulative. Your son and daughter, are the head(s) of their households, they need to feel that they are making good decisions, even though they are grown, they still need encouragement, and heck....believe me, they are still afraid, now everything is riding on them...and then you start Nagging and interfering? Read "Ruth" in the New Testament, it gives a wonderful description of what a loving "In-Law" relationship is like....

This is a collection of questions better suited to your children, or your therapist.
It seems that you have some issues that you need help working through.
