We are having the same problem. If Google is going to be this way, we will be looking elsewhere. I will not continue to use a service that feels that it, rather than the parent, should be in charge. In 29 days, when my daughter loses all of her emails from friends and family and me as well as losing access to our family calendar, my family of 7 will be going elsewhere.

I have no need of Big Brother in our lives, thank you very much. Google, you have officially overstepped.
