Far, far too sweeping a question.

Should most [i grandparents .... Yes

Should [i] all ] grandparents .... No

But then who decides whether you, as a grandparent, are in the most or the all?

If it has to go to a panel/committee or wherever then it will never be an automatic right....

[jomifl]

so how many is 'most'? it has to be an all or nothing vote otherwise definitions of categories are needed and therein lies madness.

when i click on the question link, I get taken to facebook?????

[AB Editor]

I suppose the question implies: "Should grandparents automatically be granted the same rights as the average man separated from his children due to divorce" - this might mean the right to seeing them on the weekend every other week.

And should these rights be enshrined by law?

[AB Editor]

Ha, sorry, my mistake.

Fat fingers this morning...

[AB Editor]

Fixed :)

[woofgang]

How odd - I've made the change in the backend - but it's not taken here!

That link relates to another question in chatterbank from earlier. Sorry!

[woofgang]

that's a relief, thought I was going crazy!

[AB Editor]

Should be back on track now....

The question is - should a grandparent have any right to access to what is "their bloodline" as it were?

[woofgang]

now I don't seem to be able to vote :)

automatic rights? no.

[jomifl]

Well which of the two sets of grandparents takes priority?

[pixie373]

I can't see where to vote, either. But no. Nobody should have the rights, except the children.
