Hi, I am new to this site so please be patient with me! My daughter was only 19 when she had my grandson and as she split up with her partner before the baby was born they lived with us for just over 6 years . She often didn't cope plus has a couple of health issues so was heavily dependent on me ( and my husband) for support which we were happy to give and she appreciated. When they moved into their own place I was quite happy as it is only a couple of miles away so we were still very involved in our beloved grandson's life but daughter was able to be more independent . He is nearly 10 and a joy, doing well at school , good at sport with lovely friends. In March my daughter met a new boyfriend ( she hadn't had a long term boyfriend since my grandson 's Dad) and he moved in with her last month. I like him and my daughter is very happy but I have a few concerns which I am unsure how to deal with. Firstly, 2 weeks ago daughter told me that she and partner are going on holiday ( 9 days) but leaving grandson with me ( and no she didn't ask, she just assumed !) and grandson is a bit upset. Secondly, grandson is staying with us on Wed and daughter says there are " new rules"- grandson is no longer allowed to use a tablet or play on a phone and is only allowed 1 hour of TV a day. Apparently boyfriend feels he is spoiled and needs to do more " worthwhile" things - more sport and reading. He already plays football and tennis and reads every night so I don't see the problem but when I said this, daughter told me in no uncertain terms that she expects me to follow the rules. I understand he is her child but I am just a bit uncomfortable . What do others think?
