There’s no doubt that grandparents can help raise kids. They can watch the kids while you rest or do something fun for yourself. That being said, this can end in a very unexpected way. Plus, there’s proof that grandparents and grandchildren have a unique and special bond in the bonus section.

1. I’ve been scared lately because my mom. My oldest son is being abused so that my youngest daughter can get what she wants. Her granddaughter has been constantly yelling at her grandson, “Give in, give it to her, you are older, she is little.” She never did this before. I get in the way when I’m at home. Thus, my grandmother hugs her granddaughter and tells her, “I don’t love the little one.” They both cry. Due to his short temper, my husband told her she couldn’t come. As I watch my mom suffer, it’s hard for me, but I have to be there for my husband because I care about my kids’ mental health. They used to get along, but after what my mom did, they started fighting all the time. Now my daughter always has temper tantrums at my husband and me, saying that we don’t love her.

2. My husband, my child, and my mother-in-law and I went to the movie park. My child wasn’t allowed to drink a butter drink, I told them. But as soon as I looked away for a second, my mother-in-law tried again and again to give the baby this gross stuff. She pretended not to hear me when I spoke up.
Several times, until my husband finally said, “Enough!” “Why not?” asked his mom. The husband snarled back, “Because I said so.” After that, he threw the drink away. There was a strange hush. I still don’t understand why she can’t hear me. **ThrowRAThrowRA90** on Reddit

3. I went to the country to see my grandparents one time. I broke my grandmother’s favorite saucer because I wasn’t paying attention. It came from a pricey set. Of course, my grandmother scolded me, and I even backed off a bit. After a few days, Grandpa took the whole set and took me to the forest, where I could break anything I wanted. Grandpa had to deal with Grandma’s anger at the time, but he cared that his granddaughter was happy. • Caramel/VK

4. My boyfriend’s dad found out that his daughter and I were going to have our first child together. He told us how proud he was, then said, “It’s time,” and he left. He was going somewhere, but we didn’t know where. We thought it was just one of his habits. After leaving the house, my father-in-law was there.
His chess partner was another old gentleman. They play there no matter what the weather is like. “Why did you leave so quickly?” I asked him. He replied, “I couldn’t wait to get down to business with my grandfather.” I want to know what else is on his “grandfather to-do list.” Part 6 of the VK

5. We dropped off the child with my mother-in-law, but we didn’t leave right away. Instead, my husband and I were arguing in the car. After a short time, we see her leave with the baby, get into her car, sit down with her grandson on her lap, and start the engine. I yelled at her, “Pull over right now!” but she didn’t see us. “Oh, you haven’t left yet?” asked the mother-in-law.
I quickly got out of the car and grabbed the child. She began to complain that they were not going very far and that the baby on her lap could not be hurt. But I was adamant: I’m no longer going to let her have the baby. © Reddit user beepincheech

6. I left my son, who is 4, with my mother-in-law. In the evening, she calls me to say she’s lost him. It’s been a long drive, but my life has gone by in a flash. The phone was no longer picked up by my mother-in-law. The neighbor ran to find them after I called. She called me back soon.
My son didn’t want to walk any longer, so he chose to go to the store. He drank some juice, but didn’t have any cash on him, so the salesperson went to find his parents. Right then, the grandmother showed up and took the runaway back to her room. I can’t believe how careless my mother-in-law is. © VK and Mamdarinka

7. My son’s mother-in-law thinks he is very smart, which is a big problem. When he was one year old and called people by their names, she knew he was a real talent and that she needed to put some time and money into him.
He’s three years old now and can do everything his friends can do. He’s a normal kid, but my mother-in-law doesn’t like that. It seems like he should already be able to read, write, and recite old poetry, so she wants to move him to a kindergarten for smart kids. My son is the best thing in the world to me, but I fight with my mother-in-law all the time because I want to raise a happy person, not a cool kid. © VK and Mamdarinka

8. The diapers gave my son a terrible rash. We talked to a pediatrician, used cloth diapers, and started teaching him to use the potty early on. At age 3, he is fully trained to use the potty. Occasionally, he has an accident, but only when he waits too long to go to the bathroom.
He needs to wear diapers, though, because my mother-in-law is always complaining about it. I once left my son with her for a few hours. When I picked him up, my son once again started to complain about being itchy. The reason wasn’t clear to me until I bathed him that night. There was a diaper on him. When asked about it, my mother-in-law said that his accident showed we were wrong to start potty training him so soon and that he should go back to wearing diapers for now. She never said she was sorry. My mother-in-law would no longer watch her grandson, my husband and I agreed. From ThrwayMILDiaper on Reddit
