Perhaps they felt they had good reason to do so, but there was no prior discussion. They made a decission to steer her out of my life, and escorted her to a private art school 2000 miles away from where I sat waiting for her to join me. I had moved across the US to establish residency in AZ so she could attend ASU. She never arrived , and now it has been twelve years. She is totally out of my life. If I attempt to phone her, she screams at me asking me to stay out of her life. I think about her every day. She has chosen an alternate lifestyle.  I have a difficult time understanding her. Both of my parents are now deceased. I do not think it is wise for grandparents to take away a parent's authority. I would have rather had my parents work with me to create love and respect. How different it might have turned out! My parents stepped in and took over my daughter’s life. Perhaps they felt they had good reason to do so, but there was no prior discussion.

There is also a record of a New York Jewish woman having more than 2,000 descendents in her lifetime due to their high average amount of healthy children born to Orthodox Jews, on average more than 7 in most communities per family. This is prescribed by the Law of Torah. We’re proud that my great-grandmother came from a family of 18 siblings in the Old Country (Russia) in the Jewish Pale of Settlement.

They had many multiples, including several quads.  Well, if we’re talking “in history” then there was a family in Russia in the 1700s who had 69 children from 27 pregnancies.

We have a strong marriage, but I would never choose one hour of eating over several months of shoe wearing. The kids always come first in my marriage.

]]> Comment on When Your Parental Authority Is Undermined…By Your Parents by Well Expereinced Father http://jeubfamily.com/2011/01/17/parental-authority-undermined-by-parents/#comment-8452 Well Expereinced Father Sun, 13 May 2012 16:42:00 +0000 http://jeubfamily.com/?p=2491#comment-8452 I must disagree also. It would seem as though you do not have adequate experience with this topic to be giving well informed advice. You are giving off the cuff advice obviously without ever having had any adverse experience in this topic. Grandparental usurpation of parental authority can and clearly does have bad effect and has absolutely no Biblical basis. The only possible exception MIGHT be if the children were in grave danger due to  the parents raising the children immorally or allowing dangerous or immoral things to go on...in which case grandparents should still tread lightly. I am a 52 year old father of 5 and grandfather of 1 and have a story I can use from my experience to relate to this but it is much too long to write here. Suffice it to say you (parents) must treat your parents (grandparents) with respect and not denigrate them to your children (grandchildren), however there are limits to some things and some things need to be nipped in the bud because they can and will have a lasting effect on parental relationships with their children (and grandparental relationships with the parents) when grandparents are allowed to usurp, subvert, or undermine the parent's authority.
