Posted: 2/26/2006 7:35:47 PM | Damn straight they should have the right, as long as they are positive role models. My ex wants me to deny his mother rights to see her grandson and I refuse, just because he doesn't get along with her and doesn't care for the man she has been with for the last ten years isn't a valid reason. She loves him.
Even if I had a huge fight with my parents, and didn't want to be around them, I wouldn't deny my child his grandparents.
Now if they all were drug addicts, abusive, violent, or alcoholics, sure then I think you have to put your childs safely first...But just because you don't see eye to eye with them... lame excuse. | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 8:07:18 PM | | that's great ... but if its the grandparents right to see their grandchildren then it wouldn't matter what kind of people they are. Because it would be their right to see the kids. Whether you believe they are a good or bad influence wouldn't matter. As their right they would get to choose the kind of influence they are on the children ... the same as any non-custodial parent. Or maybe if they don't like you or your influence on their children they could fight you for full custody. | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 8:21:48 PM | I agree with philosophy ... yes, grandparents should know their kids .. even more importantly, the kids should know their grandparents. But a "right"? No way.
They don't have the "right", or else it wouldn't matter WHAT type of person they were, they'd still be granted access to the children ... they should be given the priviledge, regardless of the relationship with the parents, providing it can't endanger or hurt the kids in anyway ... but they do not have a god given "right" to the grandkids, no. | |

Posted: 2/26/2006 9:16:42 PM | I find that nasty........Their your or your others parents........thats gives them the right.....or should.........just because people get in tiffs with there folks doesnt mean they shouldn't be in the grandchildrens lives.....
I can just see the people who say no......my question to them......if the grandparents die......do they have a right to their money and property?
again most grandparents are great.....I am speaking for them not the few who are bad influences etc.....
Maybe Im old fashion....or that fact that I believe like parents their are more good than bad......and they should have rights....which with certain cases across canada they do | |

I said that exact same thing, I agree with that completely. Regardless of whether you get along with your parents, or the parents of your partner or ex partner, that should have no bearing on whether or not children should see their grandparents. Of course they should. The more familial relationships a child has, the better.
But that doesn't grant them a "right". There's a big difference. If they had that "right", then if they were horrible, abusive, drug addicted people (exageration to prove a point), they would still get to see the grandkids, because ... it's their right.
This is why I don't agree that it's a right, since we as parents have the right to make that decision. | |

Posted: 2/27/2006 4:03:44 AM | This is just the topic i was thinking about and i have been wondering alot lately should my boyfriend's parent's be able see our child while my boyfriend is locked up and i feel if i do not let his parents see their grandchild that, i am showing poor judgement on my half of being an "single mom" for the moment.
But how many of yall ever been with a woman or a man and his or her family was like one of those family who is not all "there" at times and one person crys if she can't get her way, wich is his mom she littlerly wines like a baby if she cant have it her way.
His dad drinks 24/7 and i do not mean "beer" i mean whiskey and coke his stepmom drink's and works alot his sister got her baby tooken away from her when the baby was a few month's old because she never bathe the baby, or even changed the baby when he needed to be changed or fed.
Basicly the ONLY one i would let have anything to do with this baby would be his brother because his brother is acturly the ONLY one out of the bunch that has any sense at all his brother's girlfriend has 4kid's, that she bearly even see's anymore she cares about "her man" and their sex life more than she does the kid's. (the last time we all lived togeather).
But it's funny because at the same time you have to question yourself do you really wan't yall's child growing up not knowing his or her other grandparent's and never getting the chance to meet them, or even know that him or her has other grandparent's besides you'r parent's?
I just thought i would see if any other parent's have been in this and what they did when they was my age (23) and how it turned out for them but i guess it would be alright if the baby was around "his" family if i was, around and didn't leave the baby alone with them.
Best Of Luck All!

Posted: 2/27/2006 8:30:31 AM | I feel that you should have as many people in your childrens' lives that love them as possible. It can only make them feel more confident and self assured as they get older.
In my case, my sons father barely has anything to do with our child. Although my son's grandfather on his fathers side calls and visits as often as he can. I love the fact that he does this, because eventually it's going to make my son feel like he is still loved by that side of the family. (Right now he's still too young to really care) | |
