[quote=Anonymous]These Grandparents, they were parents once. They know how things are, how it is to raise teenagers. How it is to be a teen. Don't let them push your buttons. Maybe get use to saying something casual, "I guess you better bring a book." For when the kids aren't around. And joke, "this is just how our life is ..." Older people probably express their emotional needs/thoughts more often.But that doesn't mean you can meet those expectations. Or should, too much, if it disrupts your own family life. All the adults need to not-go-so-deep. Draw back on the emotional stuff. [/quote]
