Overbearing grandparents could have many reasons for extending their boundaries to children. Some are motivated out of fear. They might worry that their grandchildren won’t like them if there aren’t more sweets and more time spent with them. They might also be trying to make up time that they haven't spent with their grandchildren in the past. Whatever the reason for their behavior, it's important we discuss boundaries and how to set them.
Narcissistic grandparents prefer cute (but defenseless) children
Narcissistic grandparents may be able to cause harm to their grandchildren in many ways.

For example, they may ignore phone calls and messages.

Many grandparents who are overbearing want to be involved in all aspects of their grandchildren’s lives. They may try to be involved with every detail but end up being too involved. Fortunately, there are ways to deal with overbearing grandparents.

Overbearing grandparents are often manipulative and disrespectful with children. They often act as if their opinions are correct and challenge the authority given to them by their parents. They often violate rules or lie about them. You must avoid allowing your child to be influenced by toxic grandparents.
They can make you feel unsecure.
Children may feel anxious if grandparents become too dominant. Insecurity can be caused by their constant intrusion in a child’s life and their constant nagging. This can cause them to be angry when their grandchildren spend time with them. These grandparents may love their grandchildren but are too judgmental, judgmental, and manipulative not to support them in growing and becoming better.

Grandparents and parents have a responsibility to their grandchildren, so it is reasonable to expect them accommodating your needs. But, they may not always view your adult status as clear.

What parenting style is the most popular in America today?
The traditional family model is not as popular today as it was 50 years ago because families are changing. Parents have become less involved in raising children. They want to spend time on themselves instead of spending time with their kids. This is known as helicopter parenting. This is when parents hover over their children 24/7. They ensure that they supervise everything. They make sure they exercise regularly, eat healthy, and sleep well at night. This type of parenting causes a lot stress for parents and kids. Parents feel guilty for not being there all the time, and kids feel they are missing out on their childhood experiences.
The problem with this parenting style is that it doesn't teach kids how take care of themselves. This type of parenting makes them dependent on adults for everything. Instead of teaching independence and dependence, parents teach dependence. Children learn to depend on adults for their success. If they fail, then they blame themselves.
This can lead to children feeling worthless and inadequate. Because they failed to live up to their expectations, they believe they are failing. Because they didn't learn how to cope with failure, they lack self-confidence.
This type of parenting is also less popular because there are fewer families with two parents. If both parents work, it can be difficult for them to be available for their children. Parents often end up raising their children on their own.
Parents want happy, healthy children. Parents don't want children worrying about how they are sleeping, eating, or exercising. They want to live their own lives. They have hired tutors, nannies or other caregivers so they can focus on their own lives.
They don't want to micromanage every aspect of their child's life. They don't want to teach their children that mistakes are inevitable. They want their children to learn from their mistakes, and then try again.

Is gentle parenting good?
It depends on your definition of "good." If you want to talk about the way children are treated, then yes. If you ask me if it's beneficial for them, then I would say yes. They require firmness and discipline at times. They will never be able learn to behave correctly if they aren't disciplined and firm.
Children need to know their limits and have rules. Without them, children will never know what is acceptable behavior. They will not know how to respect others, and follow their instructions.
