Grandma Calls Police on 6-Year-Old Grandchild, Gets Kicked Out of the House by Her Daughter after This

When an elderly woman called the police on her six-year-old granddaughter, her daughter immediately stepped in and kicked her out of the house despite knowing she had nowhere to go.

Being a grandparent is one of the most beautiful feelings in the world because you know that there is a tiny human who looks up to you and comes to you when they need help.

Children are usually attached to their grandparents and share a heartwarming connection, but there might be exceptions. This story shows an unusual side of the wholesome relationship in question.

Living Together as a Family

Back in 2019, 70-year-old Liz and her daughter, Jeanine, appeared on the "Dr. Phil" show to share their story. Liz revealed how she called Jeanine informing her that her landlord had increased the rent and she didn't have enough money to afford groceries with the increase in rent.

After Jeanine hung up, she discussed her mother's problem with her husband, Nathan, who immediately came up with a solution. He asked his wife to invite Liz to their house since they had a spare bedroom with its own bathroom.

Nathan believed that "family fights for family," but he never imagined that his mother-in-law would mistreat her grandchildren and cause a rift, making him regret his decision.

A Surprising Turn of Events

Things took an unexpected turn after Liz moved into her daughter's house. After a few months, Jeanine and Nathan asked her to leave because she had called the police on their six-year-old daughter.

Liz said she asked the neighbors to call the cops because her six-year-old granddaughter, who liked to play games on the grandmother's phone, wouldn't return her phone to her, and Jeanine wouldn't tell the little girl to give back the phone either. At this, Dr. Phil clarified:

"You called the cops on a 6-year-old?"

In her defense, Liz said she felt "violated" because Jeanine had snooped through the chats on her phone. She felt the police would help her get her phone back.

Jeanine and Nathan were angry, knowing that Liz had talked to the mandated reporter.

In response to the 911 call Liz asked her neighbor to make, the police arrived in no time, considering the matter an emergency. However, when the officer asked questions and found out what was happening, he said, "Have a nice day!" and left.

The Cat’s Story

Ever since Liz moved in with her daughter, conflicts and arguments became a regular part of their lives. After she called the police on her granddaughter, Jeanine revealed what her children said, noting:

"At this point, my children have all told me that they don't want to have a relationship with their grandmother."

Before that incident, Liz had blamed her two-year-old granddaughter for losing her cat. On Dr. Phil's show, Jeanine explained that Liz's cat had escaped the house one day when the children were going in and out through the front door. Her daughter had unknowingly scared the cat, which never returned.

A Total Nightmare

According to Nathan, his mother-in-law was terrible to his children because she mostly screamed at them. He often regretted his decision to invite her to live with them. Meanwhile, Jeanine confessed:

"Having my mom live with us was a complete nightmare!"

Despite agreeing to clean the house and look after the children alongside paying rent when she moved in, Liz hardly cleaned. Instead, she complained that dishes were piling up in the sink and no one would clean the house for days.

Sometimes, the children would come to her complaining about bug bites. Liz blamed it on the cockroaches that were crawling all over the house. However, one last thing broke the camel's back.

Liz’s Mistake

On Dr. Phil's show, Liz confessed she had talked to a mandated reporter and told them about everything, unintentionally alarming Child Protective Services. The following day, they showed up at their house, with Liz saying she was "distraught" and felt terrible for her grandchildren. She claimed she hadn't intended to call them.

Jeanine and Nathan were furious, knowing that Liz had talked to the mandated reporter. After letting her live in their house for five months, the couple finally asked Liz to leave.

Living Out of Her Car

Carrying a bag in her hand, Liz walked to the nearby motel after Jeanine and Nathan kicked her out of their house. Five days later, she checked out because she couldn't afford to pay the room's rent and was forced to live out of her car for the next four months. She said:

"They threw me out like a piece of trash."

Every night, Liz would park her car outside a motel and sleep in the backseat of her car. During the day, she would spend most of her time at a local library after using the restroom at a coffee shop. Having limited funds, she could only afford to take a shower once a week at a truck stop for $12.

One Step at a Time

From the beginning, Jeanine and Liz didn't get along well. As a child, Jeanine struggled to have a close relationship with her mother. She confessed:

"I've never had a close relationship with her, and that's the hardest part. I never did, but I wanted to."

Jeanine decided to write to Dr. Phil because she wanted to mend her relationship with her mother. She said she didn't want a stranger calling her to inform her that Liz was dead. After hearing both sides of the story, the host advised them to forget about the past and focus on rebuilding their relationship from scratch.

Jeanine said it would take "baby steps" to mend their relationship, and the first step was Liz meeting her grandchildren after months. Social media users were undecided about who was in the wrong or how the situation could've been handled better.

Facebook Users Share Their Opinions on Jeanine’s Story

After viewing Jeanine's video on Facebook, someone noted that if they lived with one of their children, they'd help around the house "happily." The viewer also confessed that they'd love being with their grandchildren.

Someone else called all three "nasty" for allowing the house to get that bad. Another Facebook user defended Liz asking how old Nathan and Jeanine's children were that they couldn't assist in the house, adding:

"They were charging her to stay there too...she's not a housekeeper and babysitter."

A viewer confessed that they could "never" kick their mother out of their house. They explained that it didn't matter what the parent did or said, they'd be there for her irrespectively.

Who was at fault in this situation? Do you think the problem lies in older people and their married children living together?
