[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much about dysfunction is about a lack of interpersonal boundaries, so read the book Boundaries, by Henry Cloud.  Ideally both you and your spouse should take a good parenting class, so you can both be on the same page.  Take a look at what’s offered by pepparent.org or ask your pediatrician for recommendations.  Consider some individual therapy because you can only change what you’re aware of.

Your family will still be who they are.  You can only control yourself, so don’t think that by your wanting to be a healthier person for your children, all else will fall into place. That doesn't mean that you shouldn’t try to improve yourself.

Thanks. I am definitely healthy, I just didnt grow up with grandparents being a part of my life more than holidays/events. But I feel like most ppl I know, seem to have different experiences. So I guess I just dont want my kids to grow up feeling disconnected to their grandparents. They definitely dont but so many of their friends seem to have grandparents who are much more involved. Our moms dont seem the type to be like those other grandparents but I just want to make sure I do my part to foster the relationships as best I can.[/quote]
