Is it bad parenting when parents leave their kids with grandparents instead of being the active parent?

LookInsideYourself asked:


Would it be considered “abandoment” if minimal contact was maintained and no support was given, even though the parents have money and they say they will support their own children but don’t? How do the grandparents protect the grandchildren and get the parents to use “tough love” on themselves and take responsibility instead of “taking the glory but not the responsibility”? (Grandchildren taken in during hard times but now parents are solvent and able, but won’t step back up to the plate.)

Do you think the majority of parents take parenting seriously?

I’m not talking about you personally. I’m talking about parents in general as a whole. Do you think parents (even when their children are at a young age) practice foresight? Do you think parents really take that responsibility to heart–almost like a job–and do their best?

Now, I’m talking about you. How do you feel about parenting books in general? What is your main concern as a parent? Do you think the parents who do not take parenting seriously will some day have an effect on your own children?

I’m just curious. I’ve been noticing more and more my own awareness of parenting. I’ve been really nervous (as I’m sure many parents are) about what I do now and the effects it will have on my children later. By all means, I’m confident about my parenting abilities and I’m always trying to improve but it’s so hard to figure out fact from fiction when there are so many “experts” out there.

Do you choose to follow an “expert’s” advice? If so, which one and why?

If I am not adding to the hearing but responding to his proposal, is it best to file a response or just discuss in court? I am looking for what a judge/court prefers as standard practice.

computergrl69 asked:


Our parenting styles are differnt..he is WAY to permissive and layed back about the things his children do ie listening to inappropriate music or being disrespectful. When it comes to my children (who are not perfect) he is quick to judge and point fingers. I am more strict and structured than he is and I’m trying to convince him to go to parenting classes….he is stand-offish about it. How do we handle this?
