Toxic grandparents

Toxic grandparents may engage in behaviors that leave a grandchild feeling hurt, trapped, or burnt out (such as disregarding boundaries, micromanaging, punishing, or expressing jealousy of other relationships). Dealing with a toxic grandparent involves setting clear boundaries; engaging in self-care; practicing acceptance; reinforcing progress; or, in some cases, ending the relationship altogether.

Being a grandparent is a privilege, not a right. Can’t be bothered to treat your own child well? Why would you think you’re somehow owed a place in their minor child’s life? The only answer I can think of is a serious case of entitlement. Know any entitled or overbearing or self-centered grandparents? Tell us in the comments. ✋
