Who knows best when it comes to rearing children? Is it parents or grandparents? The thorny issue has reared its head on Mumsnet following a post from a mum who seriously risks falling out with her parents over car seats.
The unnamed mum asked the forum their opinion on rear-facing versus forward-facing car seats for toddlers. It is proving to be a sticking point on the domestic front as her strong views are being met with equally strong ones from her parents. The argument has got so heated that she is now considering cutting her parents out altogether and banning them from babysitting.
"Would I be unreasonable to tell my parents they can’t take my daughter out if they’re going to forward face her?," the woman asked.
