Toxic grandparents

How to recognize toxic grandparents and how to deal with them.


  • Toxic grandparents will interfere negatively with your child's education, from not following the rules to dangerous behavior.
  • Clearly define what is non-negotiable regarding the care and education of your offspring: bedtime, food, good manners... This will help to identify problematic situations more clearly.
  • Avoid conflicts in front of your child: they may become involved in the situation against their will.
  • If the situation is detrimental to your well-being or that of your family, consider distancing yourself.
