[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 215195, member: 84"] Toto it's tough when grandparents can't/won't get it. been there done that. Not always is it on purpose. For their generation there is alot of ignorance and stigma attached to mental illness. It can be huge to wrap your mind around when you have the truth and the facts in front of you. Respecting your wishes as parents is a different thing all together. If it were me, from now on there would be no visits after an illness until your certain they're over it. If you don't want them run all over town ect, you might want to set a pick up time and limit the length of visitation so that she just doesn't have time to run them all over. If she can't do that, skip a few times and state this is the reason. Period. As a grandma, I'd love to spoil my grandkids absolutely rotten. And I do spoil within limits set by their parents. If I cheat, and of course I cheat I am Nana afterall lol.....I do my best to make it small and within reason. It's not my goal to undo all their parents are attempting to do. Alot of grandparents have trouble with this boundary. My Mom had to learn the hard way. And thank goodness mother in law had spoiling within the boundary down to an art form. lol ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
