Mom accuses daughter of denying her the grandma experience for setting boundaries after constantly criticizing her parenting: "I also dont want to feel like I have to share my baby"

Being a grandparent is magical. You get to be a parent without any of the more difficult parts of raising children. All you have to do is take care of your grandkids every once in a while, enjoy their company, watch them grow into adults, and spoil them rotten! There is really no need to do much discipline as that is the parents' responsibility, and you see them often but not enough to not grow tired of them. It's like parenting all over again but without the sleepless nights, 24/7 pestering, and tantrums.

In our story today, a grandma seeks a more involved grandmother experience. However, her daughter is not a fan of the constant criticism and overbearingness. When she tries to set boundaries with her overzealous mom, she accuses her of depriving her of the "grandma experience." Unfortunately, their family takes grandma's side, but the internet does not. Scroll down to read the full story and netizen commentary.

It's great to have your parents there to support you after the birth of your child, but this grandma's behavior has certainly crossed a line.

There must be some middle ground that the two can reach. The two need to have a serious conversation about expectations and boundaries. However, it is just as important for the family to back our protagonist and enforce her ultimate authority over her own child's life.
