Daughter forbids grandparent from seeing 4- and 7-year-old grandkids after car accident: 'She's the reason I'm an absent grandparent'

Who knew one little accident could cause so much family drama! 

There comes a certain time in every person's life when they're getting a bit too old to drive. Usually this doesn't happen until they're pretty elderly, old enough to have really bad vision or to have gotten into an accident or 3. A lot of times, there's a whole family conversation around banning this person from driving: Grandpa doesn't always want to hear that he can't drive to meet up with his. golfing buddies. Grandparents want their freedom, too! But when you're becoming a road hazard, someone's got to take those keys away. 

This grandparent has kind of the opposite problem: they got into a really minor car accident that made their adult child totally flip her lid. She forbade the grandparent from ever driving their grandkids ever again! That's perhaps a bit of an overreaction, but still, there are other ways that the grandparent could see the kids, right? Well… Mom didn't care for those visits, either. It's opened a whole can of worms, as you can read all about below. 

Next up, read about the executive directors who accidentally sent some private internal meeting footage to a job candidate, discussing her interview (!): "Do I just pretend I didn't see the recap?"
