Dad cuts off his mom for feeding his allergic 4-year-old daughter cookies and cakes, refusing to babysit forcing him to lose out on a job offer: 'Mom tells the entire family that I refuse to see her for no reason'

You can never really predict what kind of grandparent your parent will be. Your mom might've been strict and straight as a line during your childhood, but the second your kids are born, she's all kinds of fun-loving and free-wheeling. In other cases, your parent might've been responsible and competent during childhood but constantly broke basic safety rules while caring for their grandchildren because they wanted a chance to be fun adults.

It is essential to communicate with your parents about what they can and can't do with your kids. Things have changed since they were a young parent of young children, so they may not know that rice cereal in the baby bottle is a big no-no or that the cry-out method is regarded as being pretty harmful to babies' well-being. You're bound to let something slide, especially if the things aren't necessarily harmful but merely classic generational divides.

The dad in this family was the guinea pig in learning what kind of a grandparent his mother would be. Despite him claiming she was a perfectly good mother in his childhood, she went off the rails once her adult children started having input regarding the rearing of their children.
