[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents are like this and their obsession with their grandkids [b]is largely about the fact that they know they screwed up parenting (they were abusive, emotionally immature, and neglectful)[/b], and they think they are getting a do-over.

The grandparents I know who still obviously love their grandkids but don’t make them their whole life are more mature people. They balance their relationships with their grandkids with other things, like friendships, their marriages, work or hobbies, and their relationship ship with their adult kids.

When someone makes only the young children in their lives the center of everything but struggles with adult relationships, ask yourself why. I already see my parents losing interest in and becoming frustrated by their oldest grandkids, who have their own lives and don’t just worship them all the time.[/quote]

But YOU turned out well? :) [/quote]

No, I’m quite screwed up, but unlike my parents, I can admit this and go to therapy in order to break the chain of generational trauma.[/quote]
