A Worrying Trend

I am of a certain age where many of my friends have become grandparents in the last few years and I’m appalled.
Several of their daughters seem to think it’s absolutely fine to attempt to emotionally blackmail their parents into behaving a certain way if the poor grandparents wish to carry on seeing their grandchildren.
I have to ask them, who on earth do they think they are? Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, and I’m sure as eggs is eggs that these same daughters will make many mistakes along the way too.
I’m genuinely horrified that these young mums and dads think they can treat their parents this way. So upsetting and totally unnecessary. There is no excuse. Ever.

Did you have grandparents? I have literally never heard anything so OTT.
Mine had 4 grandparents who all were welcome to see them when they wanted despite any differences between us. No one has the right to stop a grandchild having a relationship.

Yes i did, they raised me and i loved them deeply, they were good people. The ones who were alcoholics werent in my life, and rightly so!
