Okay, i have a 6yr old daughter and was never married to her father. we have already been to court, i have full physical custody and we share joint legal. I live 6oo+ mile away from her father and his family. Her father has been gone for 2+years now because he signed up for the army. so while he has been away i have let his family see her by meeting half-way flying her down, usually once a month for about a week and this summer i let her grandparents have her for almost 2 months on 2 different occassion's. And the only request i have is that they let her spend time with my family and my husbands family while she is down. (all of my family live there also) here recently they have told me that they wont take my daughter to see her step-grandparent because they dont get along. I feel i have been very generous with the time that i have given them with there grandaughter and they should be very thankful. they have always been a big pain in my a**. should i let her go there that often or not

does your daughter want to see all of the family members?
can you make other arrangements so she is collected from her dad's parents by someone in your family that does get along with your step parent?
it is good you are allowing your child to have strong relationships with all of her grandparents.

This is your second question already today. You have a lot of conflict going on. Why don't you let your daughter go down to your family's home separately. We can't expect others to abide by our wishes. Just like you didn't want your daughter's father to force his ideas on you, you can't expect to force your wishes on someone else-especially in laws! Keep the visits separate or ask your family if they will help arrange switching for visits while she is away. Both sides of the family should step up and help make the situation work for themselves but especially for your daughter too.

yes, let her spend a week with her father's parents and then find a way for her to spend a week with the other grandparents.
myself-dont understand why the grandparents cant just help out. but since they wont. see what your parents can do to help you to get their granddaughter to visit them for a week.
yes, shorten the visits but dont cut them all out. she has come to love and know them. so split the visits up equaling.

they are not grateful,they must let your daughter see her step-grandparents it's not her fault that they dont get along so well,you should talk to her father and tell him the what his parents are doing is not fair and that they should meet the Step-grandparents halfway.

i would shorten her visits with them as a consequence then take her your self to see her step grandparents and they ask y tell them u asked for her to see them so since they wont take her u are going to wich means it cuts into their visitng time
