Im not a grandparent but im trying to understand this.
If you child and his or her partner have decided they no longer wish contact, why would you want to put them and their children though going though court, inspections and social worker meetings just to please what it is you want?
Why can it not be that you respect your own childs wants and respect their parenting?
I ask purely because I can see this as something someone in our family may well do purely because they dont see the child/children enough, yet we as a family have the right to be able to enjoy our lives without having to worry that every saturday is nannys day when working parents may only get those two days a week with their own children.
How would alot of you of felt if you was forced to hand over your child/children everyweek to your parents or your inlaws just because they felt it was their right to see the child with no thought to your work and home lifes? Never being able to have a 2week holiday because sorry ken nanny wants you this saturday. Never be able to move for a better paying job without having to worry about grandparents wanting their access which may be a 4/6hour drive away but are unwilling or unable to come to yours so ontop of work you now have to spend a whole day everyweek driving to drop your child off so you dont even see them that day?
Those parents who work 6days a week and get just 1 day with their own child yet grandparents want that day?
Being moved along by someone who "wants your place".
How much do you spend on yourself?
