Also, spending time alone without friends present is a good way to build a deeper relationship with grandchildren. I like the fact that you suggested that grandparents ask a question instead of making a statement. This is a great way to get kids thinking about how their behavior affects others. Thanks for your input.

I feel the grandparents are well within their rights to call attention to how the GK’s are taking and acting toward them and asking them to respect you with their tone of voice. It’s easy enough to say “You don’t speak to me that way when it is just us, so why are you speaking to me like this when your friends are around?”
