Woman accused of child endagerment when she fails to adhere to stepdaughter's irrational rules, refuses to babysit again when baby is rejected from every daycare

Welcome, internet-surfin' sisters. Naturally, all parents want to protect their children. Sometimes they uphold irrational rules to safeguard their kids from pain. However, every child will eventually scrape their knee, have their boundaries crossed, and get hurt or upset by something outside of their control. It is wiser to help your kids learn to deal with these things than to micromanage their lives to avoid every potential danger. Furthermore, your child will never be the center of attention in any setting outside of your home; it is a reality that many doting parents struggle with when sending their precious babies out into the real world.

In our story today, two overprotective parents expect grandma to take care of their baby for free while following a laundry list of ridiculous rules. Our protagonist is clear from the start that she is not willing to follow along with every demand, so she is shocked to find her name slandered on Facebook for inadequate childcare. Get all the details of this crazy story by scrolling down.

Why do they get to call dibs on grandma's babysitting services? All of the other kids need attention and care, too. It's not like they're offering her extra money or anything. Then again, she probably wouldn't be swayed by a bribe; she seems very dedicated to all of her grandchildren.

Also, if it matters to much to the stepdaughter's partner, he can quit his job and become a stay at home dad to ensure that his baby is cared for 'properly.'

Grandma has been great with setting boundaries. If she does decide to take Cullen back in, she needs to get her own rules down in writing. Maybe even have a lawyer present.
