So you feel like grandparents feel too entitled to be apart of grand child's life?

Question

Do you ever feel like you parents or your SO's parents, your children's grandparents feel; expect to see their grandchildren more then you'd like them too.

Answer

In my situation yes, not only my sons grandparents but his great grandparents (on my side), he isn't even born yet and I'm already getting pressured to be visiting more than I'm comfortable with.. I am a FTM so my protective instincts are through the roof and my family doesn't understand boundaries what so ever and neither does my mother-in-law and I seriously dread having to deal with them all😕

Answer

I don't think grandparents are entitled to your children. No one will be entitled to my child but my partner and I. If they are overstepping boundaries you have set, then you have every right to say you're uncomfortable with what ever they are doing and take space for yourself and child.

Answer

They are entitled. They're grandparents because of you having a child. -- it's they're time to just spoil and suck in all the joys of being a grandparent. 
There should be boundaries that are respected on both sides. 
Idk maybe it's just me but I had the best grandmothers in the world. I wouldnt trade the memories with them for nothing and hope my children have the same memories.

Answer

In my situation, yes. My mother in law is a shitbag of a person and she was a horrible mother to my husband and has said a ton of awful things about the both of us but expects to be able to see my daughter at the drop of a hat if thats what she wants 🙄🙄

Answer

Of course they should be part of their lives. Unless there's good reason to keep them away.

Answer

I have some issues with my in laws and to this day I'm not sure if I'm being overly sensitive and crazy. they stop by to visit every three weeks and immediately take my baby and will not give him back the entire day unless it's to eat or sleep and even then I have to fight them for the baby! they usually stay from 11am to about 8 or 9 pm where Grandma wants to put baby to bed as well. at this point I feel like I haven't seen baby all day and someone else is going to put him away for the day as well. it makes me really sad and I dread visits sometimes. so are they entitled as grandparents to all this? opinions please!

Answer

This is an ongoing issue with my inlaws, they do feel entitled to my daughter to the point the don't care if it's inconvenient for me to have them watch her. There has also been issues with them not having their phone on them while they have her, wanting to be around way more than we are comfortable with and ignoring boundaries.

Answer

I'm very close to my family so I don't think it's being "entitled". I just think it's life to want to spend it with people you love and who love you.

Answer

I want my son to be surrounded by love and family and see healthy adult relationships. Why would I ever want to keep that relationship from him? Also, I'm not naive enough to think I can do it all perfectly alone. I understand it takes a village to make a well rounded well behaved productive member of society. I would never take opportunity from him.

Answer
