Dad revokes access to 2-year-old and 5-month-old kids after grandma ignores all his boundaries: 'Family members told me that we needed to let go'

In theory, giving your parents grandkids should be one of the happiest times for a family as a whole. Given the number of moms and dads with adult children who pressure them to start families of their own no matter what their current personal circumstances, a new baby should be something that unifies everybody, not forces them apart.

However, when it comes to some grandparents the way they treat the youngest generations can become a cause for concern. The reality is that times change and so do parenting styles, along with the different rules and ideas that they entail. Many older people prefer to go by the attitudes that worked for them when they were parents, but that doesn't mean that their kids are going to be happy about it. Add to that the protectiveness that many new parents have when it comes to their kids, and it can be a recipe for disaster.

For one dad of two young children, his mom's behavior surrounding both his kids and his wife's pregnancies had become too much to bear. After multiple issues with her disregarding certain boundaries and rules that he and his wife had established, they mutually decided it was time to cut contact before their second child was born. A few months after that, though, and family were pressuring them to make amends.
