I will try to keep this one short! I thought I would post it here to see if I get a better response. To keep it short I will not give details but I will say my mother is narccisitic, milipultive and can be abusive to children. (I saw it with my neice and nephew) She has not contacted me since the day before I was induced. I am not using my baby as a weapon to keep her from my parents, I just don't want her around my TOXIC FAMILY.
They stand for nothing and lack morals and values. I do not want her in that environment. Everyone is talking about "grandparents rights". What about my right as a mother to protect my child, so she won't have to suffer the way I did.

as long as you dont die you have all rights to your child. i wouldnt worry about it as it sounds like grandma just wants her "rights" to see the child but since its your baby she has no rights. if you are worried about it have guardianship handed over to someone else you trust if something were to happen to you then grandma could never get her.

Well, your rights as a parent trumps the rights of a grandparent, that's for sure, but keeping your family out of your child's life completely may not be a solution. Perhaps you could at least have your child and her grandparents meet like once or twice a year to start off with, so then at least she will be able to know who her grandparents are, and with that little amount of time, she shouldn't be exposed too much to the "toxic" environment.

I agree with you. There are times when a grandparent can do mental, emotional, and/or physical abuse. There are also times when a grandparent refuses to accept the way a parent chooses to raise his/her children and actually undermines the parent authority causing a whole bunch of problems - domino effect.
Ann Landers once (at least once that is) said the same thing. She said that if the relationship is not a healthy one, she saw reason to end the relationship. The child should not be subjected to any kind of abuse.
Source - personal experience. I'm a child of divorce, also divorced myself, and have seen how badly grandparents can behave to grandchildren.

First of all I am all for protecting your child. But this is her family too. You need to let her get to know them. If you don't think it is safe to leave her alone with any of them...don't. But don't make a scene about it. Just have an excuse ready. Because good, bad of otherwise this is her family too. Believe me if you teach this child right from wrong then she will make her own mind up as she grows. Who knows, she could be the one to mellow your mom out.
Good Luck. Cause it sounds like you need it.

I think that the rights are for grandparents who MUST have the child in custody because of the parent. Not sure though.

Ignore the people that are throwing 'grandparents rights' in your face. You are responsible for the well-being of your daughter and if that means not being around your mother that is your option.

You are the only one that matters. If they want court appointed rights, they will have to take you to court. And if she is as bad as you say she is, then you should win this one.
