Hi Grammy, I am just wondering if your granddaughter has given you any reasons she does not want you to attend her recitals? My opinion is that kissing is an intimate gesture and one that I believe that everyone should have the right to refuse. I remember having an aunt that would always come and tickle me when I was a young child... so that eventually when she came over I would run and hide in my room.
You call her behavior "intolerable", and it must really irritate you. However, losing your temper or even getting irritated is the worst thing you can possibly do. You need to stay calm and focused in the moment, surrendering fully and accepting everything that the moment brings, in order to bring out your best and most loving response to these challenges. If her parents do not do this and she is learning a way of being from them, then she NEEDS you to be her example that another way is possible.
