Here is something i hope grandparents can answer? Am a nanna to 4 grandkids.my daughter has 2 to a man who was adopted.the man and my daughter are no longer together,however hes mother comes up now and then to see my daughter and grandkids.she takes over all the time and dictates and that is something i dont do.last week she shouted at my oldest granddaughter for not wearing a face mask when she goes out which made my granddaughter cry.my daughter told me and did nowt. When i got told by my daughter i was upset but kept quiet. My two questions are. If you are the biological grandparents would you agree with me that what she does isnt acceptable? Or if you arent biological grandparents would you feel you have to be careful of what you do or say?

Being a grandparent is difficult these days, especially with non traditional family structures. It’s up to the parents what is acceptable. Hopefully all grandparents whether biological or not accept this

Biological doesn't come in to it if the Dad has welcomed them in to his children's life as his parents / grandparents

It’s a tricky one and I can only speak from my own experiences of similar incidents and what I decided to do was not have kids.

The only one who should react is your daughter (or the dad). His mum has no business shouting at the kids. She could have mentioned it casually without the drama.

If they do something wrong then have a word with the mam or dad and let them deal with it. Obviously in the moment, if they are putting themselves or someone else in danger then react, but otherwise let the parents parent.
