Name: Who am I
Country: U.S.A.
my father served as a very strict disciplinarion when i was growing up. he was my role model until he broke my heart when he cheated and ultimately left my mother and me and my brother. now i am grown up i am a single mother with 3 kids and my dad lives with me. he helps with picking the kids up from school and i really appreciate that, but i think that i have held down my household quite well on my own. i own two homes and two vehicles which are paid off and i have relatively good credit. the problem is now my dad want's to critisize me when my kids are getting out of hand yelling at eachother and i discipline them which is usually in the form of setting them straignt in a firm voice and restricting their play time. this usually ends up in tears from my kids. but my dad will actuall confront me in front of the kids while im disciplineing them and say that i shouldn't yell at them and that i am going to ruin them by doing this. i am so on the virge of asking him to leave but i think i should talk to him about this 1st however i am still very intimidated by him due to his strict ways when i was growing up that it makes it hard for me to tell him. any advice?

my kids' grandparents (my ex-in-laws) drive me nuts. their own son left me and my sons, and now they act as if it is their job to tell me how to raise my kids, what to do, how to discipline, even down to whether i should have a second dog or not. they make absolutely no allowance for the kids' both being young teens, and scream and yell about the least little transgression. i live next door to them and they do help me out by keeping an eye on the kids, but now that the kids are 13 and 14 i am considering selling the house and moving as far away as i can so i can be their only mother again. they messed up with their own son so they try to make it up with mine. and i am sick of the interference. hell, i was only married to their son for five years...but i ended up getting a life sentence.

How important do you think grandparents are to a growing child? Are they are helpful or interfering? Are they vital to all children?
