She doesn’t follow my rules, but my husband is worried my solution will upset her.
For example, we don’t allow our children to be on social media, and Grandma A helped our older child create an account to use at her house. We have also asked Grandma A to limit junk foods, but she gives them unlimited amounts. I’d like to limit visits to her house to only once a week and have the other grandparents cover the rest of the week , but my husband thinks it’s unfair and that both sets of grandparents should have equal time with the grandkids.
If these guidelines are mutually agreed to by you and your husband, then your husband should frankly, respectfully, and clearly remind his mother to abide by them. This child is responsible for their own actions and choices, whether they are at home, at a friend’s house, or in the care of grandparents. It’s time they understood this non-negotiable.I recently received a wedding invitation via electronic mail. It was really well done as far as conveying all the information about the wedding celebration.
The wedding industrial complex has made this sort of “bundling” of asks and demands very easy for couples intending to marry – and in my personal opinion, if a couple decides to ask guests to contribute toward their wood-fired pizza oven, then I’m happy to play.
