Grandparents Won't Respect Our Rules

21 years ago

My wife and I just had a baby 4 months ago we also have a daughter who is 8 from a previous marriage. We have a few rules that we ask that they follow, such as milk with meals, wearing sunscreen, and bedtime at a reasonable hour. My mother says that these rules are interfering with her "fun" relationship with her grandchildren. Mother says that my wife is a control freak that wants to control all aspects of her relationship with her grandchildren. My father says that he will NOT have his relationship with his grandson compromised by our rules. He wants to raise his grandchild on HIS terms.

My wife and I feel that this is a lack of respect for our rules that we have set for our children.

Are we wrong? Should we just turn them loose at Grandmas to run wild and do as they please?
