Answer: Dear D.: The rules are made by the new parents and you have to follow their lead. I only hope they have the same vision of your participation in their lives and the life of their son that you do. Ask her what she would like to have and listen.

Please consider coming over to my Web-forum: www.WiseWomenUnite.com . There are a lot of mother in law/grandmothers there to interact with and get ideas from. Blessings, Luise
