yes of course. do you think the grandchildren want to grow up thinking their grandparents don't care about them. i'm not saying they have to be in the grandchildren's life 24/7 but they should help the parents with possible babysitting if the parents have an important business meeting out of state or whatever. even calling and saying hi can also be helping the parents out by just showing they want to be involved.

Yes, I think it is important for grandparents to play a role in the raising of the children. They love the children in a different way than the parents do, can tell them of how things were in a totally different generation, tell them about their mom and dad when they were little, give advice, hugs and over all just spoil them as only grandparents can.

I feel there is a need to have grandparents involved in the raising of their grandchildren because it offers the child another level of love within the family that isn't as judgmental nor as restrictive as a parents love will be...I've made it perfectly clear with my kids that my grand kids are not my children...and it is my responsibility to love and spoil them.

Yes I have two grand children and I feel honored to be involved with their lifes. Of coarse their parents have the main say but it is very important in giving advise, they might not always take it but it can't hurt and grandparents are important and have more time for the little ones sometime.

nicely i'm 18 years previous I had a sprint one whilst i grow to be sixteen I relatively have lived with my mom, dad, brother, and a pair of sisters the excellent time. I won't circulate out until eventually August. I relatively have been dealing with a custody conflict and grandparents have been stated pondering the two maternal and paternal grandparents have been very in contact provided that day one. Grandparents do have rights. i grow to be recommended this via a prior lawyer and a parenting counselor. After analyzing your tale it sounds to me that for the toddlers superb activity you need to take it to courtroom it does not sound like a secure difficulty for that youngster to be in. i might propose you to seek for legal information and tell your tale.

To a certain extent. Parents are always the parents. I think that they should be able to love and spoil the grans but as far as the rule making discipline, and actual raising, that is the parents responsibility

having known my most of my Great-grandparents and grandparents, I can only say you can't know who you are unless you know where you came from.
Wisdom does come with age. But that doesn't make them the authorities, either. Trust your own parenting abilities.

You needs to ask yourself that question, do you think your grandparents should be in your life?

not if they don't want to be. they have no obligation to the children cause they didn't make them.. they r the parents responsibility.. if i had a grandchild, i'd visit, i'd pick up my grandbaby when i wanted to, and i'd buy what i wanted when i wanted.. i would not be a personal babysitter, and i wouldn't jump when the parents said so..
