Terrorized in home by DIL

What is the name of your state? NC


For reasons I am certain no one is interested in, several months ago I informed my daughter-in-law that she is no longer welcomed inside my home.

This evening, my 3 year old granddaughter is with me overnight, with her parents' knowledge and consent. (at the request of my son, actually)

It may, or may not, be pertinent to state that I have raised this child for most of her 3 years. This is to say that, obviously, there have been no doubts concerning my parenting skills.

While the child is here, does this give her mother the right to enter my house without invitation or consent?

This has continued to be a bone of contention with me as this woman feels that since she is the child's mother, she has full run of my home if her child is on the property.

She has informed me that her birthing of the child exempts her from any request that I may make for her (my daughter-in-law) not to enter my home.

I feel as if I am being terrorized in my own home and am on the brink of knocking her back out the door as soon as she steps over the threshhold.

Please advise!

Best,
Petra

*** No. The childs presence with her parent(s) permission is not an excuse to allow her to trespass.

O.K. what did you do with the REAL Jet. This is too warm and fuzzy for the Jet that I know and love.

Petra, the next time that daughter-in-law decides that she has a right to enter your home without YOUR permission, simply call the police and file a complaint for trespass.

Let her cool her ass on a metal bench behind bars for a few hours. She'll learn a new language and meet some very nice ladies who do a lot of parking under streetlamps.

Thank you both, extremely! I would gush, but I will not.

I felt in my heart that her rendition of her rights in my home was a bit off the mark.

Following the research of most available information on grand-parental rights, I was devastated to find that none, actually, existed after all. At that point I thought - well anything is possible I suppose.

Realizing, of course, that she does indeed have the right to withhold my granddaughter from me, at her whim, does not make for an easy situation.

I always knew that I would love nothing more in my 'golden years' than to have my ass stretched over a barrel.

Thank you, again.

This is not an issue of grandparent rights.... but of the right to privacy in your home and being able to bar entry to those you don't invite.
Tell her that the next time she steps across the threshold without your permission, she will be charged with trespassing. But you have to mean it and take that action, otherwise she will continue to try to walk over you.
