How much influence should grandparents have in raising and disciplining your children?
***I understand that they need to respect her and listen to her and that she should be able to discipline them because she does watch them on occasion, but at what point do you draw the line because they are your children? (Please let me know if you need more clarification.)
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Parents can and should draw off the experience of grandparents when raising and disciplining children, but grandparents should have only a small influence in this area.
Clearly the level will vary from family to family. Some parents are less capable than others and will welcome grandparents into routine disciplinary matters.
The danger is that allowing the grandparents in too much will actually undermine the parents themselves, it's a balance that most parents will know when it is right.
The one thing that can never be allowed is when grandparents contradict or undermine the discipline decisions of a parent, this is extremely damaging and confusing for the child.

Be sure to let her know you are grateful for her help and the care she has given them.
