My dad and his girlfriend let my daughters stand on the back of the shopping
cart, and I don't let them do that so I've had to hear "But papa lets me..."
They do get old enough at some point to understand grandparents let you do
lots of things mom doesn't. I've come around to decide that if the
grandparents allow things that are NOT dangerous (too many cookies or
whatever), I just let them. Or look the other way lol My kids know the
difference. Sort of like when you have to put up with "advice" from elderly
people and you just nod and smile...

I agree with you on everything but one thing. I have to take issue with the phrase "elderly people." Please understand, I don't think you were trying to put down elderly people at all. I think you just picked a phrase that was less than ideal. No offense was taken. It's just one of those things that caught my eye.


What phrase should be in its place?
