Makoti is maal. How can she expects the daughter to be with the father at all hours. If the child visits his father there is nothing wrong if the father takes her to her grandmother. She needs her grandmother too. Report Abuse

relax gogo your granddaughter will come looking for you in few years to come as for your son is,he is weak in negotiating for his daughter ....no one will stop me from seeing my daughter even her grandfather from her mother s side.
The divorce laws in this country should separate or exclude giving rights of children to one party, especially to the female spouses, because they use poor kids to melt punishment to the father for cheating or any other reasons resulted into the divorce, so this story tells,
Fact is divorce is ugly especially to the little one who usually have no say about who they want to visit or not. It is only fair that the mother of this child let her visit her granny cause she has a right to know all her family. Report Abuse

I don't understand why some women like to use children to get back to their partners.The poor child will suffer because grown a$$ adults are behaving like children.
Too many things to look at here but l don't want question any of it. Why? It's because me myself and my wife are in a divorce action. Why so many divorces in this country? The word cheating is the cause of everything. If all can be honest to our partners, l tell you, there will more peace in our land. The is a English saying which reads like this: READ THE MENU AND EAT AT HOME, may be the HIV virus will not spread like this. Cheating is the poison in all the marriages. Finish and klaar.

Not very responsible of the father to leave the little one with the gran and not tell the mother. I don't think that is the real reason though.
If she got on well with the daughter-in-law before then she should communicate directly with her on this. I'm pretty sure the daughter-in-law will see sense as she must be feeling very alone at the moment. Report Abuse

Yes really! Why should you not believe her, what proof have you got that this woman is lying?
You people live in a different world, there are sadist in this world, who bite and fire for the fun of it.
I have a relative who experienced a similar situation , yes, people can be so mean.
Amongst our people you still find couples who divorces continue with the battle and they do not even consider the children's well being. Even if the woman has taken side, if you disassociate your child with their paternal or maternal relatives you doing more harm to the child rather than those who plan to punish. Your fight with your ex-in laws has nothing to do with the children 's relationship with them unless there is clear present danger of abuse. It is ubsolutely selfish and exploit actively cruel and has no place in the modern society. You can choose not to have anything to do with your ex an their family but you have no right to delibaretely disrupt the special relationship the children have with heir relatives, you cannot have an excuse for doing that.
