My daughter is mad at me over something so selfish and has now gone to the extent of keeping my grandaughter from me. She won't answer my calls she locks the door if I go to her house and said I can't have anything to do with her! Anyone have any advise?

My only advice is to resolve this thing with your daughter because unfortunately you don't have any rights in regards to your grandaughter. (unless its a situation where she is unsafe, then you have to take steps to have her taken away from her mother). talk to your daughter, or write her a letter and explain that you need to resolve this conflict, because the one being hurt the most in this situation is your grandaughter. she could grow up hating her mom cause she was never allowed to see you, and that is only one of the possibilities. children have it rough enough these days, they need to have all the family support they can to help them grow and learn in life. good luck

I don't know the whole story between your daughter and you but it all depends how long this feud has been going on between you two. If you feel it is in the best interest of your granddaughter to visit you, you can legally take her to court for visitations. But like I said I don't know how serious this is, maybe your daughter may need some time to let it pass. Try to talk to her in about a 1 wk or 2. I am sorry that your daughter would put your granddaughter the middle of this.

Unfortunately, this is something the two of you will have to resolve amongst yourselves unless the kids are in danger of some sort. I've seen a similar situation. Where I live, the grandparents have no rights unless they took a major part in the daily care of the children and the children are in danger of emotional problems due to your absence in their lives. It would be yucky to prove. Look up the laws in your state cause I'm sure they differ for each. However, please be careful about the decision you make because you are the only mother your daughter will ever have. And she needs you too. She may be playing stubborn right now. But I'm sure it'll all pan out. Honestly, the situation I was referring to earlier was with my mom and myself. Time cures all wounds.

Wow, what did you do that deserves this? Why don't you give her some time to cool off and maybe if she doesn't answer the phone, write her a letter of apology. Do you have anyone else, light another child that could intervene for you? If not, maybe a friend? Tell them to tell her you want to make right whatever you did wrong and for her to give you one more chance.
Your daughter shouldn't use your granddaughter to punish you. It's not fair to either of you.

I would suggest you get your local authorities involved. Tell them you are concerned about her kids. After that I would threaten to
take it to court and let them decide if the kids are being taken care
of. Social Services the works. If she wants to give you problems
give some back.
