SageMother

When My twins were born I did everything myself and didn't want my mother's input because the woman is unstable...no joke...seriously.

I probably spent more time shielding myself from her then just being a kid and didn't want my sons exposed to some of the manipulative behavior and her inability to think in a relatively logical fashion.

Have any of you had to curtail contact with the grandparents when many would be strengthening the bonds out of a sense of family? Did you find that you had to accept help, like babysitting or the sort of things that grandmothers usually help new mothers with, when you knew it probably wasn't wise?
