[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear this complaint a lot about grandparents, [b]often enough that I think it can just be an awkward way to make connections and contribute to the conversation. [/b]Of course, in some cases it might be intended to hurt. But I think it's common enough that I wouldn't assume the worst. Maybe a way to change the dynamic would be to ask her what her experiences as a parent, and about your own childhood. "Baby doesn't really like tummy time, but I know we're supposed to do it. What was the advice when I was a baby? Did I like tummy time?"[/quote] This is how I frame it for myself b/c my mom does the same thing, but I think she feels it's part of the exchange in conversation. Sometimes I wonder if she was that annoying mom when I was a kid who would follow up anyone's story about their kid with one about me or my siblings. [/quote]
