While grandparenting is often viewed as a joyful experience free from the burdens of parenting, it can generate stress and conflict, especially regarding gifts. Missteps such as giving unapproved gifts or financial support without communication can strain relationships. Experts advise grandparents to establish clear communications with their adult children about gifts, both material and financial. This practice helps to prevent misunderstandings and fosters trust, ultimately benefiting relationships with both parents and grandchildren.
Sometimes grandparents can get into trouble because they buy things for their grandchildren that their parents may not approve of, are too expensive or too excessive in nature.
A good way to avoid this is to clear any purchases, or a plan for purchases, with parents beforehand. This clarifies expectations for everyone and lets the parent know that you respect their authority.
