http://community.greatschools.net/q-and-a/243586/When-is-a-grandparent-overstepping-the-boundaries I am divorced and my ex-mother-in law works at the school that my daughter is in.

In my opinion, elderly people are impossible to change, so either you need to get used to it or send your kid to another school! http://community.greatschools.net/q-and-a/243586/When-is-a-grandparent-overstepping-the-boundaries?cpage=1#comment_243874 5100.243874 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 09:23:36 -0700 greatkids04 We do have joint custody right now, but due to the bad economy in Michigan I am moving to California in the fall so we are in the midst of ... http://community.greatschools.net/q-and-a/243586/When-is-a-grandparent-overstepping-the-boundaries?cpage=1#comment_243597 5100.243597 Tue, 02 Sep 2008 19:41:08 -0700 healthy11 Do you and your husband share custody of your daughter?
