Unless grandparents have a great relationship with the parents, advice and opinions should be kept to themselves — unless asked. It will definitely not be received well. Most of us just want grandparents to just be a grandparent to the child; and not try to be the parent.

They can’t accept our no. And that causes erosion of trust.

This is only my own experience, but I find it so odd when the grandparent does this but yet turns around and says when they were a first time parent, their parents/in-laws were overbearing or crossed boundaries, etc.

my in laws don’t understand why I don’t trust them to babysit even though they’ve repeatedly and openly ignored my boundaries🤦🏻♀️

I’ve thought about this. Here’s how it goes in my head, “hey we don’t want our kids to have a lot of processed foods and snacks.” “Okay, can you send me some foods they like and you are okay with so I can make sure they have their favorites when they are here.” “Hey we don’t want any visitors to the hospital after baby is born.” “Okay; understandable. Are you all wanting visitors after you come home? If not, how can I support you in a way that honors your wishes? Can I bring over some food? Come by and help with dishes or laundry?” “Hey, we aren’t comfortable with leaving baby/kid quite yet.” “No problem, I totally understand. There’s a nice park with some shade, are you all up for a walk on this day? I’d love to see you all”. (It’s literally that easy)

And drop your expectations that if they want to hear your opinion, that they will use it. In the end, they will choose what THEY feel is best for their child, with or without your opinion.

It’s extra fun when they criticise how you’re parenting your high support needs Autistic, ADHD, PDA child without ever trying to actually learn from you or the therapists or treating parties involved (whose advice and best practice you’re following). Also I’m an OT and studied this stuff. We aren’t perfect. We know that. But you don’t get to tell your son and DIL that their young son will think he’s unloved just because we’re parenting differently to how you chose to or had the privilege of choosing to without the complexity of additional needs. Been no contact for just over a year now as a result of that comment and many many many more cuts over the course of 13 years.

I think a lot of grandparents err by thinking that every time they overstep they are getting away with something and starting fresh, as opposed to that they are chipping away at trust and it will sooner or later be gone.

Especially regarding safety! My husband’s mother argued with us about infant sleep safety. Guidelines have changed since she had babies in the 80s.

I once said to one of my kids grandmothers when she shared an unsolicited parenting opinion, “gosh my baby brain is really on one today, because I cannot remember asking you for that opinion”

Eh, some of these grandparents have an opinion on everything, so even sharing an opinion is iffy😅

They don't have to like it , they just have to accept it. They had their life, their turn and now it's ours, no need to make a big deal about it, simple.
