You are not wrong by requesting that your parents not take your daughter to mass while they are watching her. They should respect your wishes, after all, she is your daughter. They are the grandparents. Explain to them your wishes for your daughter. Be respectful while doing this. The parents are responsible for raising the child. Grandparents do play a role by showing unconditional love and kindness to the child.
You have done the right thing by using scripture to explain your position to them. The simplicity of the gospel is what will speak to Catholics the most. That’s the “key” in witnessing to them. In many ways, the Catholic Church insulates people from God, who can only be approached through priests and saints, and then only with the proper prayers, penance, and piety. The Bible teaches us “the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ” (2 Corinthians 11:3, NASB). Jesus extends the invitation to all: “Let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life” (Revelation 22:17). “Whoever has the Son has life” (1 John 5:12). Such simplicity appeals to those laboring under a merit-based system of religious works.
I will be praying that you can resolve the situation. This is an article that you should read. https://www.gotquestions.org/witnessing-Catholics.html
