Never 2 leaders in any situation

Ever have this experience where 2 'leaders' appear in a meeting? They each have their own views and talk non-stop with no respect for the rest in the meeting.

Now transfer this over to a family - 2 mothers teaching a child.

Mother #1 - the biological mother of the child.

Mother #2 - the biological mother of the father (or the mother, at times). 

Not only does it confuses the child, it also causes friction to both of them, and everyone else. 

In all situations, I always believe the teaching rights go to the immediate biological parents. Simply because they are the ones who gave life to the child. Period.

Grandparents have their fair share of parenthood when they are parents themselves and have their own sets of principles they want to inculcate to their children. Likewise to the next generation.

So if you are a grandparent reading this, please, please, let your child go. S/He is already married. Let them do what they think is right to build their own life together. It's the other partner who will grow old with them ultimately, not YOU. So why take the risk to hurt your own child indirectly by affecting the couple's relationship? You were young once. You wanted freedom. You wanted independence too.

And if you are the child in this situation, why allow your parents to affect the relationship which will bring you through with your most beloved till the end of time? By standing firm in your priorities (Top Priority - your own new family), everything falls in place in how you deal with everything. Slowly, your parents will understand and learn to let go. If you do not stand firm on this, how can you protect your husband/wife and your children, in the future? 

Remember: Never 2 leaders in any situation. Never.
