Who doesn’t love it when their grandparents come to visit? They always come bearing gifts, convince your parents to let you skip curfew, and bring a fun energy that you can’t ignore. Grandparents are the best.
At least, that is the attitude towards grandparents from the kids’ point of view, the other one, from the parents’ point of view, is less friendly towaus grandparents. The parents don’t care about the fun gift; they care that the grandparents brought candy and chocolate along. They care that bedtime becomes a suggestion, and that their kids refuse to listen to any of the rules they were perfectly fine with before their grandparents popped in for a visit.
That is exactly the case of the mother in the story below. Every time her mother-in-law visits, she refuses to adhere to any of the parenting rules they spent so long teaching the children. In fact, she ignores the rules so often that the daughter-in-law refuses to let her stay in her home anymore.
