How to stop grandparents from spoiling the kids

It sounds absolutely fine. Not spoiling at all.

How I deal with screens is doing a variety of things. We might go to the library, go the playground and then watch tv when we come home.

Yes, you're probably right. It's not my business and I won't interfere. But I'm interested to know how other parents deal with the lure of screens.

Well, you’re dealing with a three year old who wants to watch tv, not a 23 year old addicted to crack. Believe it or not, you have the power to say, ‘no Bobby, tv is for when you are at nan’s house, not at home.’ That’s it. He’s not going to break out of the house at night to secretly score an iPad on the street corner to feed the ‘lure’ of his addiction.

My parents know my child isn't allowed screens so they don't give him screens end of. We're very clear on that and sweet food, apart from that they have free rein to do what they want..
If you don't want him watching screens tell them and expect it to be enforced. If it's not that's disrespectful and I'd be speaking further about it.
My parents are very clear we're in charge with my child though and always have been, it's not something we ever had to speak about - from the beginning they were always very respectful and would ask us what was okay/what wasn't..

I'm disappointed. I thought it was going to be a thread on tips for how to spoil grandparents. Bake them cakes (Victoria sponge specifically) treat them to a doze in the sunshine, hot air balloon ride....

except its not the OP's child, its her sibling's child. I have no idea why its any of her business.
