Q: In OK, if you are guardian to your grandkids & the GKs won't allow you to supervise or protect them, what can I do?
The kids came from a negative environment, but are in a positive one now.....good school, no worries on finances....opportunities. But they want to do what they want when they want. If is stressful & making more problems often legally. I don't want to give up, but they are almost uncontrollable. I have done counseling, had interventions, & had local law help. It changes nothing....& demands increase.
A:
Must be really hard on you. On the positive side, they are in a good environment now, and I would hope their custodians support your contact. I would guess they are older teen agers.
I would try taking to dinner on school night at a place they want to go to, and initially keeping it short. Then movies they want to see, even let them bring a friend. Afterward a nice snack, with discussion of the movie. Keep this short too.
Failing this, perhaps the Judge supervising the guardianship will have them for an "Attitude Adjustment" conference.
I am a Retired Judge, and certainly would have worked hard to resolve this problem.
