[quote=Anonymous]One aspect of it must be, they don't see you and your kids as often, so everything seems exaggerated to them. If they naturally tend to be negative, then whatever they see will be exaggeratedly negative. It takes my mom a few days to get used to the way our kids are disciplined and she admits it makes her uncomfortable for a few days before she gets used to it and understands it's reasonable. Another could be, as others have said, a defensive mechanism. Especially if you don't live together all the time, they have to learn and re-learn that you, their child, are now a parent, like they are/once were. Any mixture of guilt, competitiveness, smugness is going to manifest in criticism. I think your attitude about it all is great. [/quote]
