@mind_yourboundaries: 📣 Boundary question submitted for me to share. This is 1000% confusing, and I’m sorry it’s happening. Your best option is not to push it - because your adult child and their significant other could set even stricter rules. 🙈 Or you can open a conversation by asking if you can do anything to make them feel more comfortable. I hope this helps! ❤️ #boundaries #boundariesbelike #mindyourboundaries #wwyd #wwydinthissituation #boundarieswithfamily #boundarieswithinlaws #boundaries101 #boundarieswithparents #howtosetboundaries #boundaryscript #boundaryscripts #boundarysettingtips #familystress #familydrama #inlawproblems
It’s always the sons parents that have the rules sad but true

Seems to me the other set of grandparents likely showed respect from the get go, thus not needing said boundaries.

As a paternal grandma I felt this. I have 1 daughter so I’m looking forward to her babies

I have more rights than the other grandparent, but I stepped up day 1 and helped and now my grandbaby is attached to me

Or I can choose to go no contact. My mother once said 'I'd sooner adjust my life to your absence than adjust my boundaries to your disrespect'

No this happens when you don’t respect the rules/wishes of the parents. We have the same rules for everyone but my parents never question us

This happens a lot and ppl wonders why grandparents don’t get involved anymore.

I would think they need rules because there has been issues in the past. Plus a new mom will be more comfortable with her mom, not her husband’s.

naw, other side of the grandparents follow rules/boundaries so they get more access. they don't get defensive to changes either.

Dad’s parents have more rules because mom may want HER mother taking care of her- especially early postpartum. 1/2

Parents have a right to set whatever boundaries they choose, but I wonder how many will remember to follow the rules when THEY become Grandparents?

I would just keep doing what I am doing and not focus on the others. Just go on about my non-problematic way.

You have those rules because you broke my trust. The response I got back was “well that hurt my feels”. 🙃
