Do grandparents pamper kids?

Ladies just a thought. What do you think about the general conception that grandparents pamper the kids. I do love my kids to be with their grandparents but I am reluctant in letting them stay alone with grandparents for long thinking they might pamper them and kids may not listen to me later.
Will really like to know all moms and dads opinion.
They most certainly do
, but I don't think that should prevent you from leaving your children with their grandparents.
Grandparents do pamper the kids but the love and affection they give to our kids is what they cannot get from us. Thats what I feel, as being parents we try to keep some control over the kids thats why we cannot express ourselves fully. Also we have the responsibility to discipline them.
So, why to deprive them of the love they are getting them from grandparents.
Surely they do. I remember how my grandma protected me from my parents anger. Whenever Ma or Papa will scold me I would run to my grandma with a long face
. Those days are unforgettable.
Grand parents do pamper but they do help parents develop very good values in kids. I have learnt so much from my grandMa's stories and her bhajans. I would suggest not to keep your kids from their grandparents. Your kids might miss some important learning.
Sometimes grandparents don't take this much care and they pamper the kids to the extent that they are spoilt. I have seen this happening with my elder sis kids. I do let my son stay with grandparents but only when I am there. I am not in favor of letting kids be with grandparents. Definitely there are some grandparents who are educated and does have discipline in life so with them its fine but otherwise no.
Grandparents do pamper kids but still they are the ones who took care of us. I am sure they will take care of our kids. Only thing is to let your kids grow the way you want you have to be with them. Letting them spend time with grandparents will not harm them but definitely benefit in some way.
Only case when grandparents can spoil kids with their love and pampering is if you let your kids grow up with them you not being there to look after them, which many of us are doing because of job and other things.
I am totally for it grandparents do pamper kids. Sometimes to the extent that they even start misbehaving with their parents. I have seen one of my neighbors kid. He is a spoilt brat and his mother tries hard to discipline him but his grandmother always object if she tried to be tough with the kid.
I am clueless why some of the grandparents do this. Though they might be strict when they were parents themselves.
Grandparents are meant to pamper kids
. If all the family members start to discipline kids that will be unfair for them. So, let the grandparents do their job.
