[quote=Anonymous]Do your parents ever tell you that you are doing a good job raising your children?

Background:  My mom is visiting and (as usual) is criticizing everything about my 4 yo DD.  According to my mom, DD is too clingy to me, too whiney, doesn't eat healthily enough, etc.  My mom is on her case constantly, trying to correct these perceived flaws.  I do my best to stand up for DD - she is a good kid.  She can have challenging moments, but nothing too crazy - she is funny, sweet, and smart.  Her biggest issues are that she is shy ( and therefore sticks close to me in uncomfortable situations), has a limited diet (we have been close to food therapy, but never got started with that because she continues to pick up new foods), and has been staying up a little too late this summer (and is therefore tired and prone to whining by the end of the day).  While reflecting on this, it occurred to me that my parents have never told me that I am doing a good job with DD.  do other parents do this?  Perhaps I am strange to feel sad that my parents don't think I am raising DD well?  I will survive, but am just wondering what is normal.[/quote]
