Joanna Fortune: My children have been caught up in family row with grandparents

"I had a heated argument with my father recently over politics. He got in quite a huff and hasn't spoken to me since"

I had a heated argument with my father recently over politics. He got in quite a huff and hasn't spoken to me since.

My mum usually picks up my two children from school once a week, but says she won't do so until I apologise for my behaviour. I'm hurt that she has taken sides and is using childcare as a form of leverage.
