Okay so I have my daughter who is 3 years old and just a terror, she is a great kid and just smart, I wouldn't change anything about her.
What I run into is the fact that I am a young mom, I am 21 years old I had her young, Her dad doesn't have anything really to do with her, he is ordered to pay child support but doesn't. I have given up on that whole thing but his parents play a huge roll in her life. She goes there just about every weekend and sometimes for a week at a time to save me money on child care. They help me out quite a bit with her and I am very thankful for them.
When I get her back from them she is she totally out of control for a couple days. I understand that grandparents are to spoil their grandchildren but when she spends that much time there then I think that they need to lay down some rules but every time I say something to them it doesn't help anything. I also have told her grandma not to smoke around her and when I went and picked her up one time her grandma was sitting there smoking a cigarette. Don't get me wrong I know that if I don't like the way things are going I can put a stop to it and not have her be there but they play such a huge roll in her life and the same vise versa, I just am confused how to handle it because I don't want to make them mad or think I don't appreciate what they do for me and her...
