And your question is what exactly?

There really is no such a thing called "grandparents visitation rights". What is the issue between you and your daughter, either real or perceived? That is the key to resolving this.

Cathyy, please understand this is a question and answer site. Rather than asking us a question, you provided us with a statement. We would love to help you, but we aren't sure how.

What is it you would like us to help you with?

There isn't anything you can do. You have no legal rights to your grandchildren. It is up to the discretion of your children to allow or not allow you access to their children. It doesn't matter if you're blood or not, they have the right to say no regardless of the amount of money you throw at the grand child.

Have you talked with your daughter and asked if you can see your grandson? Is there effective communication between you and your daughter? That might be the starting point.

The way you brought forth your 'question' without saying any helpful background information leads me to wonder if you have problems dealing with delicate situations in general.
There can be many good reasons for having to restrict or even flat out deny visits from grandparents.
One is that grandparents can have many needs and expectations from the time they arrive at the airport (or house, if driving) that the young parent or parents just don't have time for.
Another is that the young parent perceives the grandparent as being too pushy and dictatorial about how to raise a child.

Any hint of ideas from those two most common reasons? (Not implying either one is true at all - you tell us.)
