Being a grandparent sounds like a really sweet gig. You've done all the hard work of raising your kids; they've grown up to have kids of their own, and now you can come hang out and have a bunch of fun. You also get to say stuff like "back in my day" and "when I was your age," which will be sure to annoy your grandkids. Most importantly, you get to spoil them, and then they will be all the more excited to see you the next time you come around.
A very important part of being a grandparent is respecting the parenting choices of your own kids. You already did your part to parent, and now it's best to take a hands-off approach so your kids can learn from your mistakes and their own. If you keep disrespecting your kid's wishes, you might lose the chance to spend time with your grandkids.

So, does Mother really know best in this situation? Or has she lost her privileges? Let's get into it.
