Parents Halt Grandkid Visits Until In-Laws Install 1 Gun Safe

Summary
A parent told The Washington Post’s new advice column that she and her husband have stopped taking their children to the paternal grandparents’ home because the in-laws keep guns unsecured.
The couple drew the line once their oldest son became mobile, deciding visits will not resume until the grandparents install a gun safe.
The letter says the break is painful because the family previously had a close relationship and the grandparents live a plane ride away, making their home a former gathering place.
The column’s advice backed the parents’ decision as the right safety call, while acknowledging the emotional cost of withholding grandkid visits.
