Grandparenting is different than parenting. And the woman may gain some insight when she has her own children. Chances are there won't be a concern with dear old dad, and her child, if never disciplined, will be a holy terror no one will want to be around not even grandparents, and strata councils will have to field complaints about. But if she wants no discipline of her child, a nanny cam will do to ensure the little darling always gets his/her own way and never has to behave. I just hope I never have to be in a coffee shop next to them, while the child screams the whole time and mommy and daddy let him/her disturb everyone while they sip their lattes and ignore their child.
